The Longest Walk 2008

About me

Introduction	The Longest Walk 2 is a grassroots effort on a national level to bring attention to issues of environmental injustice, protection of sacred sites, cultural survival, youth empowerment, and eroding Native American rights. It is a 3,400 mile spiritual walk for cultural survival in commemoration of the 1978 Longest Walk which successfully defeated 11 anti-Indian legislative bills as well as helped bring about the 1978 American Indian Religious Freedom Act. We began our trans-continental journey on February 11th in San Francisco and are stopping in communities all across Turtle Island to listen to Native peoples concerns, document them and deliver them to US officials upon our arrival in Washington DC on July 11th, 2008. This walk consists of Indigenous peoples from North, South, and Central America, as well as people from New Zealand and Asia. It is a spiritual and historic walk and Native Americans and our allies walk behind the banner, "All Life is Sacred; Save Mother Earth!"
