Mission Statement

We take up this task to walk in a manner befitting our nations. We shall walk for the Seventh Generation, for peace, for justice, for healing of Mother Earth, for the healing of our people suffering from diabetes, heart conditions, alcoholism, drug addiction, and other diseases. We walk with the message: All Life is Sacred.

Through the elements of the seasons, we shall walk; through the rain, snow, over mountains, high winds, through the heat and cold, nothing shall deter us from completing our mission: All Life is Sacred.

Let those who doubt us hear our pledge. Let those who believe us join our ranks. As we walk those final miles, by our side will be elders, families, children, and people from many walks of life. We will be joined by every race, the old and the new America.

Migwitch,
Dennis J. Banks
