The first Grandmothers Protecting Our Children Sacred Walk was held in Winnipeg in 2007 by Aboriginal grandmothers calling for a stop to the abuse of children and sending a message to exploited children that they are victims of abuse, that their voices and cries are heard and that they are not alone.
