The Nation to Nation Bike Tour, a joint initiative of KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives and The Otesha Project, saw 14 participants cycle along the St. Lawrence River, from the Kanien'kehaka (Mohawk) communities of Akwesasne to Tyendinaga. The Otesha Project is a youth-led organization that uses bike tours, theatre, experiential activities and storytelling to inspire people of all ages to create positive social change. “This tour has brought together a diverse and talented group of young people for what we hope will be a life-changing experience,” said Otesha tour coordinator Matt Schaaf.
