In the front are Chancellor of DQU Dennis Banks and visionary business man Alvin Duskin, followed
by dedicated supporters including Buddhist monks.
In the 1970s, Buddhist monks were told by their spiritual leader in Japan to support the struggle
of Native Americans in the United States. For many years a group of Buddhist monks regularly participated
and aided American Indian activism in the Bay Area
and on the walks across the continent.
