Its governing council is Native American and its international membership is predominatly Native American although it solicits the active participation of Asian, African and Eu ropean Americans who strongly sup port its philosophy and activities. The principle means by which it pursues its aims is by conducting spiritual runs of extreme distances comprised chiefly of native runners of both sexes bearing staffs and other culturally significant objects through regions inhabited mainly by native people. It is in the social and intellectual atmosphere surrounding such runs that actions and strategies pertinent to the attainment of cultural and political autonomy are forged.
