Like many of the others, this journey will begin at Lummi Nation and travel across the country in ceremony to move the Spirit of healing, honor, protection, education and awareness. Our goal on this journey is to peacefully inspire communities to join the intergenerational Call to Action for the release of our brother Leonard Peltier. The journey will culminate with 14-stops with a national-call-to-action gathering on his 79th birthday on September 12th in Washington DC.
