Hi Stephen,
I briefly talk to you about this at conference.You seem enthused about it then also.
This is something I am involved with, being with the Longest Walk 2 - A Manifesto for Change, and have accepted being the Washington, DC Coordinator for this walk. They will walk across the country, bringing awareness, to the rising Diabetes epidemic.
From Longest Walk 2 ***********
WASHINGTON, DC – An 8,200 mile Native American prayer walk for Indigenous People's rights that began five months ago on Alcatraz Island, arrived in Washington D.C. on Friday July 11th. Over 800 walkers from across Indian country as well as international allies survived many challenges such as extreme weather conditions such as forceful winds, rain, snow, and even a tornado in their journey to raise awareness about sacred sites protection, cultural survival, youth empowerment and Native American rights. The successful journey traversed 24 states and 35 reservations. Each community shared with the walkers their stories of environmental destruction and threats to sacred sites. The walkers arrived in Washington D.C. with the message 'All Life is Sacred, Protect Mother Earth'.

I can give you a call about it, & I do plan on giving you a quick intro at the July EBI this month, if that is okay.
