The Red Road to D.C. started last week at the coastal Lummi nation north of Seattle and will finish on July 29 in Washington, D.C.
The cross-country caravan will arrive Saturday at Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, an especially sacred site for Native Americans.
The dominant imagery on the colorful totem being towed across the country: An eagle diving down to earth, a man praying and a salmon.
Two dozen Native American activists in 10 cars towing one totem pole across the country.
While this protest caravan may seem small, its message to Congress is outsized: Give Indigenous peoples a say before granting access to land that tribes consider sacred. The opposing argument: public lands are for everyone and the nation’s energy needs can’t be ignored.
