The Saskatchewan Polytech Library is hosting an virtual Indigenous Storytelling event featuring Tristan Durocher.

Tristen Durocher knows that even small positive changes can lead to great things – and he has been instrumental in creating those changes. Inspired by the defeat of a suicide prevention bill in the Saskatchewan Legislature, Tristen created the Walking with Our Angels campaign to raise awareness of the disproportionately high rate of suicide among northern and Indigenous peoples, walking 635 km from his home in Air Ronge to the legislative grounds in Regina. He set up a teepee and started a 44-day ceremonial fast to convince the provincial government to adopt the bill it had recently voted down. The bill ultimately passed in April 2021.
