Dr. Stanley Vollant has walked many a road in pursuit of his dreams. On Sept. 30, the Quebec Innu physician and trained surgeon walked 44 kilometres up the Cartwright Road in the second week of his journey to Sheshatshiu and spoke to the Labradorian about his mission.

He began this leg of his trek - the Innu Meshkanu (Innu Path) in Old Fort, Quebec-80 kilometres from the Southern Labrador border, but the real journey began a few years back and much farther away.
