Indigenous Groups Stage Final "Tar Sands Healing Walk" 
-------------------------------------------------------


 
Indigenous groups have led a gathering of hundreds of people in the
western Canadian province of Alberta for the annual "Tar Sands Healing
Walk." Participants staged a march and healing ceremony this weekend to
mark the damage of tar sands oil mining on the land and on local
communities. The indigenous-led ceremony was in its fifth and final
year.
