MISSION STATEMENT
The
Longest
Walk 2008
February, 11 - July 11, 2008
4,400 miles OUR MISSION: We walk with the message: All Life is Sacred,
Save Mother Earth. We shall walk for the Seventh Generation, for our
youth, for peace, for justice, for healing of Mother Earth, for the
healing of our people suffering from diabetes, heart conditions,
alcoholism, drug addiction, and other diseases. Through the elements of
the seasons, we shall walk through the rain, snow, over mountains, high
winds, through the heat and cold, nothing shall deter us from
completing our mission: All Life is Sacred, Protect Sacred Sites. Let
those who doubt, hear our pledge. Let those who believe, join our
ranks. As we walk the final miles, by our side will be elders,
families, children, people of all races, from many walks of life, the
old and the new America. All Life is Sacred, Clean Up Mother Earth.
