Why We Walked 2.1 Miles
We walked in prayer under the symbol of the medicine wheel, uniting our relations from the North, South, East, and West—Red, Black, White, and Yellow. This ceremony showed that the attacks on undocumented and Indigenous lives affect all of us, no matter our background.
Walking is our offering.
The ache in our feet, the burn in our legs—this suffering is our prayer. Like fasting in other traditions, our physical endurance becomes an altar to Creator.
We walked because the Trump administration’s immigrant crackdown is escalating.
Indigenous migrants—Maya, Zapotec, Mixteco, and more—are being detained and removed. Meanwhile, even Native birthright citizenship is under legal attack.
Every step we walk is for those inside detention centers.
For families ripped apart, for children without their parents, for communities living in fear. We walk to declare:
- We have not forgotten who we are.
- We are not immigrants on our own lands.
- We will not stand aside while our relatives suffer.
It is not just a walk—it is Ceremony, Resistance, and Love in motion, held in prayer under the sacred medicine wheel for All our Relations.
