A five month long cross-country trek, known as the Longest Walk 2, ended on the steps of the US Capitol building this afternoon. March participants from all over Indian Country and their allies have used their 8000 mile journey to call attention to environmental degradation and its harmful effects on all living beings. Native American activists are also calling for cultural sovereignty, respect for native rights, and for protection for sacred sites. On the Capital steps, march representatives delivered a document to House Judiciary Chair, Representative John Conyers. The document, titled "Manifesto for Change" consists of testimonies, concerns and priorities outlined by residents of Native communities visited along the march route.
