Dooda Desert Rock with Longest Walk in DC

Elouise Brown, president of Dooda Desert Rock, and Dennis Banks, speak to Long Walkers in Greenbelt Park in Maryland on Thursday evening. Navajos are opposing another power plant on their land in the Four Corners area, where unreclaimed uranium mines, oil and gas wells and power plants already poison the earth, water and air of Navajos.
