An American-Indian group has organised the Longest Walk 2 from San Francisco to Washington. The walk began on February 11 and will end on July 11. They want to draw attention to the effects of environmental damage on American Indians as well as other people.

They will present a manifesto on the U.S. Capitol steps detailing their concerns, which include burial grounds under threat in Kentucky.

The walkers divided into two groups, a northern and a southern delegation, after setting out from San Francisco, and taking different routes. They will meet up in Maryland for the final stretch onto Washington.
