Description
This 4-page typed press release titled "Defending our Roots in the Land" was issued by American Indians Against Desecration circa November 1983. It describes the history of the founding of AID as a result of the Longest Walk, when Indians discovered the remains of their ancestors housed in universities, laboratories and museums across the United States. It also details the conflict between the Glenn Black Laboratory of Archeology at Indiana University and members of AID who were denied access to human remains stored there. A prayer vigil and four days of fasting are planned in protest.
