It seems there’s been some amazing buzz lately about trail work being done on Indigenous land, with collaborations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, and how it’s a step in the right direction towards reconciliation.
Check out this great short video about the work the Indigenous Youth Mountain Bike Program is doing:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jk4M-E5683c
And this awesome article in Beta MTB magazine: ‘Can trails help heal scars of Colonialism?’ https://www.betamtb.com/culture/can-trails-help-heal-scars-of-colonialism/
This article (which is behind a paywall…) dives deep into the work our local UFN trail building crew is doing in conjunction with UMBA up on Mount Ozzard. It was worth the $24 subscription for me 🙂
