Walking: Movement by limbs or wheels; alone as strolling, sauntering, or loafing; in groups as marching or parading. Walking holds deep ties to creative production, thought, and action across many global cultures and territories. Counter to the dominant Western tradition of disembodied thought, scholars whose work takes up walking point out that bodily movement often spurs creativity. Since 2003, Anishinaabe activists have led annual walks throughout the Great Lakes region to underscore the importance of clean water, and the interconnectedness of all beings (see Beeds).
