It is through long distance running that he makes his feelings known to the pub lic. Early this year, when ad dressing an issue of Native American gaming in Califor nia, Runningwolf ran from Oakland, Calif., to each of the state's 28 tribal casinos.

Runningwolf is part Blackfeet, and also part Wasco and Winnebago. During his run to Montana, he stopped in Warm Springs, where for the first time he met some his rela tives on the reservation. Runningwolf was back in Warm Springs a couple of weeks ago, visiting with tribal member Emma Smith and other relatives.

He ran be tween 30 and 40 miles per day, and by the end of the trip he had worn out 23 pairs of shoes. He arrived in Philadelphia in late September, and made a public pre sentation of a new bell, as a symbolic replacement of the Liberty Bell. The crack in the Liberty Bell, he said, could be seen as a fault in the justice system that con victed Abu-Jamal. "I le did not receive a fair trial," Runningwolf said. Abu-Jamal was convicted in 1982 of killing Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner. Runningwolf and others say that the trial was unfair, and are advocating that Abu-Jamal be granted a new trial. The situation is much the same as that of Leonard Peltier, one difference being that Abu Jamal is African American, said Runningwolf.

His run began in May of this year and ended in Septem ber. Along the way he spoke with officials of various tribes, encouraging them to support a new trial for Abu-Jamal. While in South Dakota, Runningwolf was invited to the Lakota Reservation. This was a first-ever invitation from the Lakota Natidn to a Blackfcct Indian, as the tribes histori cally had not gotten along. In explaining why he is en couraging Native American tribes to take a position on the Abu-Jamal case, Runningwolf said, "It has to do with our sov ereignty, in dealing with issues outside of the reservation." In a preview of the docu-' mentary film that is being made on Runningwolf's recent run to Philadelphia, he is quoted as saying, "As a Native American leader I am respon sible not only to my own people, but to all other minori ties in the country. We must strengthen the bonds between us - beginning with mutual re spect - to break the racial boundaries imposed on us." His 4,400-mile run earlier this year was a means of dem onstrating this philosophy. At his home in California, Runningwolf has a catering business and a' construction business. He hopes to turn these into job-training oppor tunities for Native Americans in the city.
