The Longest Walk reaches Washington

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 15 Juli 1978 📍 Verenigde Staten

Indigenous marchers reached Washington after crossing the country to oppose legislation threatening treaty and resource rights. Supporters joined them for demonstrations, ceremonies and public education. The arrival brought Indigenous sovereignty directly before federal institutions. Organizers connected contemporary pressure on land and minerals with earlier dispossession, insisting that cultural survival required collective authority over territory and resources.
