Support Needed for the Longest Walk II Northern Route - List of Needs/Supply
Drive
Ya'a'teh,
I talked to some of my friends that are on the Longest Walk II Northern
Route today, they said that things are going great but they are not as
prepared as they would like to be for the cold weather conditions that are
before them.
They are resting in Carson City, NV for a couple of days and have an address
where supplies can be shipped to.
This is a call for support to send supplies to the Longest Walk II Northern
Route, specifically they are in need of:
1. Medium thermals, especially pants - They need about 4-8 pairs.
2. Snow Proof Tents
3. Serapes, Ponchos, anything that they can wear to keep warm while
running/walking.
4. Blankets and/or Heavy Sleeping bags
5. Wool Socks
6. Safari Type Hats or some type of Snow hats. Warm beanies.
7. A set of good Walkie Talkies. (More than 10 mile range if possible)
8. Snow boots and running shoes are also needed. (Robert, a walker, needs
shoes badly, he wears size 9-91/2)
9. A couple packs of AAA batteries. (rechargeable preferred)
10. Towels
11. Ginseng
12. Lotion
A transport vehicle (a large van) is also needed to pick up large tents from
Oakland to transport to the Longest Walk Northern Route, if you know anybody
in the Bay Area that can do this, please put them in contact with Longest
Walk organizers (mstargali@gmail.com, longestwalk1978@gmail.com) or call me.
I will be sending out a package on Tues. Feb. 19th in the morning.
If anyone local (Flagstaff or Northern Arizona area) has any of these items
please call, email me or drop them off at Taala Hooghan Infoshop, located in
Flagstaff at 1926 N. 4th St. 7B.
Please remember to support both routes! The website is newly updated with
more information on what you can do to support the Walk!

More info on the Longest Walk 2:
The Longest Walk 2 is a five-month long trans-continental journey on foot
from San Francisco, CA to Washington, D.C. to bringing attention to issues
of environmental injustice, protection of sacred sites, cultural survival,
youth empowerment, and eroding Native American rights.
More info: www.longestwalk.org
The purpose of the Northern route is to continue and carry the message from
the Longest Walk of 1978: "The Longest Walk is an Indian spiritual walk, a
historical walk; and it is a walk for educational awareness to the American
and the world communities about the concerns of American Indian people. This
route will carry the message of Renewing the Spirit by Walking in the
Footsteps of our Ancestors. This walk is to commemorate the Longest Walk in
1978- those who walked then and those who walk now. We are walking to bring
awareness of the struggle to protect sacred sites.
