[imc-st.louis] Longest Walk @ Cahokia Mounds 5/10 12-7pm

[ben]

Dennis Banks, cofounder of the American Indian Movement, and Kickapoo 
Chairman Steve Cadue joined forces on the steps of the Kansas Statehouse 
to draw attention to the destruction of Mother Earth, vanishing rivers 
and assaults on American Indian rights. The Longest Walk 2 Southern 
Route is organized and led by Banks, elders and original 1978 Walkers. 
Eighty to one hundred of these walkers will be traveling by foot across 
Missouri/Illinois this month on their way to Washington DC from San 
Francisco, California.

Walkers include American Indian tribal members from all over the nation, 
and many International participants. The Nipponzan Miyohoji Buddhists 
from Japan will be joining The Longest Walk 2 - Southern Route as of May 
3 in Oklahoma.

The Longest Walk will arrive at Cahokia Mounds in Collinsville, IL on 
5/10, 12pm - 7pm.
