Interfacing with indigenous peoples on the 5th Longest Walk from La Jolla, CA to Washington, DC in solidarity with the raising of awareness about drug use in native communities and inner cities...
American Indian Movement co-founder Dennis Banks is leading another historically significant walk across America to heighten awareness of substance abuse issues, suicide and other traumatic crises facing Native American people, according to a press release.
“The Longest Walk 5” began Feb. 13 in La Jolla, Calif. It is planned to end July 15, 2016 in Washington, D.C. The walkers passed through Taos, NM Saturday and Sunday (April 2-3). The interview depicted took place along State Road 518 just outside Taos.
“The issues facing our people and the issues facing our Earth are connected,” Banks said in a prepared statement. “They both arise from the kind of thinking that does not value people or the Earth. Native American traditions oppose this sort of thinking. We say all life is sacred, and we speak as the conscience of our Earth.”
Banks added that the organization behind “Longest Walk 5” plans to “host forums to see how communities are addressing one of the most difficult issues facing people and the Earth today. We will gather information about solutions from community leaders, law enforcement, clergy and drug program directors. College students will interview community members, students, parents, spiritual leaders, counselors and tribal officers in an attempt to get the bigger picture of the issues.”
The Walk is a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Donations of food, medical attention and supplies, such as new socks, running shoes, water and energy snacks, are needed.

On October 4th, 2015 I visited the Leverett Peace Pagoda on the occasion of its 30th Anniversary and personally met Dennis Banks, a co-founder of AIM (American Indian Movement) and learned of the 5th Longest Walk: War on Drugs. Now this historic trek on foot across 14 U.S. States (La Jolla CA to Washington, DC: February 13th - July 15th, 2016) has passed through Taos, NM as of April 2-3 and continues to move toward its culmination in our Nation's Capital with a message of vital importance that Dennis shares in the video. At some point on this journey, the IN-Community Overland Tour will interface with them and walk alongside Dennis as he brings into clarity severity of the drug problem in Native American communities, on and off the reservations. I AM in Solidarity with him ~ JDHWB-R
