Camino MB Book Launch with Matthew Anderson May 11, 2024 This event will be hosted live in the Atrium of McNally Robinson Booksellers, Grant Park Mall.
Saturday, May 11, 2024 7:00 pm CDT Join Matthew R. Anderson as he visits Winnipeg to speak on his book The Good Walk: Creating New Paths on Traditional Prairie Trails. The Good Walk is a memoir, travelogue, and manifesto, recounting how a growing group of dreamers instigated prairie pilgrimages on foot, starting in 2015 and continuing almost every year since. The story is steeped in Treaty Four and Treaty Six history, stories and poetry. Travel with the author through prairie storms, family histories, and humorous encounters, and bear difficult witness to the evolving politics of ownership and of racialized land access. Readers will share the real-life adventures of a group of Indigenous and settler walkers, trekking thousands of kilometres on swollen feet along the Traders’ Road, the Battleford Trail, the Frenchman and the Fort Qu’Appelle Trails—prairie paths that haven’t been walked in over a century.
