DAVIS - American Indian activist Dennis Banks and others inaugurated a
cross-continental "Sacred Run" for environmental preservation and peace
on Saturday.
Participants held a ceremony at Alcatraz Island and headed to DQ
University, California's inter-tribal Native American college in Yolo
County.
Runners will travel through 12 states, including those on the Gulf
Coast where people are rebuilding communities following the devastation
of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The runners plan to arrive in
Washington, D.C., on April 22, Earth Day.
"It's time for us to take a walk and reflect on what it means to be
human," said Tim Raposa, a run supporter who teaches anthropology at
Sacramento City College.
