On July 15, 1978, the “Longest Walk”—a 2,800-mile trek for
Native American justice that had started with several hundred

D.C., accompanied by thousands of supporters.
The intent of the event was to call attention to issues affecting
Native Americans, such as a lack of jobs and housing, and
legislation before Congress that could dramatically change
their rights.
