Trail of Broken Promises
Walk
Kansas: Students at Haskell Indian Nations
University are walking to Washington, D. C. to save the Haskell
wetlands.
The Trail of Broken Promises Walk began May 13.
It follows the Potawatomi Trail of Death across Kansas, Missouri,
Illinois, and Indiana, then heads east through Ohio, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, and Maryland before ending in D.C.
Haskell's wetlands are important for the area's
ecology. They are also historically important to the University and
Native peoples because when Indian families visited Haskell
students, they camped on these wetlands.
The Kansas Department of Transportation
wants to destroy the wetlands to build a highway intersection.
