Zachary Runningwolf
Brown has run thousands of
miles during the past couple of
years, going through dozens of
pairs of high-performance
track shoes. 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.
Before that he ran from
Oakland to the Blackfcct Res
ervation in Browning, Mon
tana, to call attention to diffi
culties facing Native American
children adopted outside of
their tribes.
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 had just recently com
pleted a long-distance run from
San Francisco to Philadelphia,

Abu-Jamal, who has
been on death row
in a Pennsylvania
prison for nearly 20
years.
The run on be
half of Abu-Jamal
took Runningwolf
four and a half
months. 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. He said that

Tribal member Emma Smtih met recently with her relative Zachary
Runningwolf Brown, who was visiting Warm Springs.
Peltier's cause, he began think
ing about the need to think
outside of racial boundaries.
"I was thinking about what
is power," Runningwolf said.
"And I thought that real power
is the ability to act outside of
racial lines."
He decided to run from his
home in San Francisco to
Philadelphia, a trip of 4,400
miles, to raise awareness of
Abu-Jamal's case.

statements to the documen
tary. 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.
