The All Souls Green Sanctuary & Racial Justice Committees and the Thomas Hart Benton group of the Sierra Club invite you to a NATIVE AMERICA LONGEST WALK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE FILM EVENT to be held Saturday April 26th at 1-4 p.m. at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church at 45th St and Walnut, one block east of Main. We will show the films Longest Walk and Homeland: Four Portraits of Native Action.

The Longest Walk is a spiritual and historical walk across the USA for educational awareness about the concerns of American Indian people. They invite everyone to join them with the mission: All Life is Sacred, Protect Mother Earth. They will reach the sacred but endangered Haskell-Baker wetlands April 30th and then spend the first three days of May going through the Kansas City area.
