The Longest Walk II:
In 1978, Native activists held the Longest Walk in an effort to shed
light on Native issues. Today, participants are embarking on the Longest
Walk II a 5-month journey from San Francisco to Washington , D.C.
It has shaped up to be an extraordinary grassroots effort on a national
level to bring attention to the environmental disharmony of Mother
Earth, sacred site issues, and to commemorate the 30th anniversary of
the original walk. Do events like these actually raise awareness? Guests
include Dennis Banks of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and co-founder of
the American Indian Movement.
