After five months of traveling across the United States on the Longest Walk 2, Native American activists presented a manifesto to the chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee in July. Tribal members plan to press Congress to pay more attention to their concerns, some of which have carried over from the first Longest Walk of 1978.
