Photos Christina Akaquiqui: Longest Walk Northern Route

Photos copyright Christina Akaquiqui, published with permission.

The Longest Walk northern route gathered in Portland on Sunday, then began walking, and running, into the rain, on Monday. Lisa Peake, Ojibwe/Pomo, in the fourth photo, said the greatest need is for a support vehicle to carry walkers from their stay place to the route, and carry supplies.
