View Comments
Dozens of people took part in a 49-mile relay Saturday to Chemawa Indian School, intent on raising awareness for the indigenous youth buried in unmarked graves on the Salem campus.
While some took part in a relay-style run starting at the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center in Oregon City and made their way through Willamette Valley cities Canby and Woodburn to Chemawa, about 20 cars and pickups followed them in a caravan to Salem.
A group of men chanted and drummed as the runners entered the cemetery adjacent to the Chemawa campus in North Salem about 2 p.m. Saturday.
