Since the beginning, Native Peoples lived a life of being in harmony with all that surrounds us.
From Dennis Banks
Even the people who come our way look upon us in amazement, that we run only for the healing of Mother Earth.
The Sun, Moon and Stars are there to guide us.
In 1978, the tradition of running from village to village with a message was revived. that first run was from Davis to Los Angeles, a distance of 500 miles.
And Americans realized that native people are still here, that they have a moral standing, a legal standing.
It is an understanding with the Great Spirit or Creator that we will follow these ways.
It also called upon traditional people in the Four Directions to strengthen the healing ceremonies and asked people to heed the warnings of Mother Earth.
In 1967 the last Unity Caravan was held.
To be selected was an honor, and in respect of the family member chosen to run, families held feasts and gave away prized beaver coats, quilled tobacco bags and buffalo hides.
In 1990 we ran across Europe through 13 countries and covering 7,130 miles.
