There are 150 known Splatsin members who attended residential schools over the decades.
Of those, 45 remain.
To honour those who survived, and remember those who did not, the First Nations are walking Saturday.
Splatsin invites everyone to the annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also called the Orange Shirt Day, Sept. 30.
