Parents make 350-km canoe journey to raise awareness about missing son
CBC
A First Nations mother and father canoeing hundreds of kilometres to raise awareness about their missing son and other missing and murdered Indigenous men and boys, finished their trek at The Forks in Winnipeg on Monday.
"We kept thinking about our son," said Bradley Bushie. Bradley and Verle Bushie were greeted by supporters at the downtown riverfront park as they were helped out of the canoe. They had started their journey at Poplar River First Nation, nearly 350 kilometres north of Winnipeg, on Aug. 25. Their son, Bradden Bushie, was 18 when he last seen in Winnipeg on Nov. 16, 2013. Bradley Bushie said the wind on Lake Winnipeg was one of the biggest challenges of their nearly three-week journey, but also the constant thoughts of their son. "We were being emotional all the way. That was our struggle," he said. "During every day for us, we struggled. Same with the ones that are missing their loved ones. I know how they feel and they know how we feel."
