THE

All Life Is Sacred ‚ Save
Mother Earth
Our mission is to walk across the U.S. continent
from Alcatraz Island in San Francisco, to Washington D.C., to
commemorate The Longest Walk of 1978. San Francisco to Washington, D.C.,
February 11 - July 11, 2008
As we commemorate the 30th anniversary of The Longest Walk of 1978 we
take up this task to walk in a
manner befitting our nations. We shall walk for the Seventh Generation,
for peace, for justice, for the healing
of Mother Earth and the people suffering from diabetes, heart conditions
and other diseases. We walk with the
message: All Life is Sacred.
As we walk those final miles, by our side will be elders, families, children,
and people from many walks of life.
We will be joined by every race, the old and the new America.
Each evening a cultural exchange program is presented during which our
walkers perform their different tribal
songs and dances. The local community is invited to share their heritage
and culture in return.
