Longest Walk 2 at the Tree Sit
The Longest Walk 2 stopped at the Oak Grove tree sit to show thier support for native Burial Sites just before starting on a five month walk across the US.
The Longest Walk 2 has begun. before the official beginning many participants rallied at the Oak Grove. They asked that all sacred sites and burial grounds of Native-Americans be preserved. They also asked for the bones of tens of thousands of native people be returned and no longer held in basements at UC Berkeley. The walkers and Oak Grove supporters gathered for speakers, prayers and mutual support. Then the police allowed the crowd into a part of the Oak grove for a few minutes to lay sacred herbs at the foot of a 200-year-old oak tree. The events at the grove ended and a rally at Sproul plaza began; to publicize the walk and to demand the return of Native-American bones and artifacts.
