Our mission is to walk across the U.S. Continent from Alcatraz in San Francisco, to Washington D.C., to commemorate the 30h 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 healing of Mother Earth, for the healing of our people suffering from diabetes, heart conditions, and other diseases. We walk with the message: All Life is Sacred, Save Mother Earth.

Let those who doubt us hear our pledge. Let those who believe us join our ranks. As we walk those final miles, by our side will be elders, families, children, and people of all races, from many walks of life, the old and the new America. All Life is Sacred, Clean up Mother Earth.
