Native American Coalition of Tulsa: Standing Against Police Harassment and Discrimination, 1980-08-18

The members of the Long Walk for Survival, a Native American group, are experiencing police harassment, discrimination, and brutality in Oklahoma. They have been forced off the road, searched without explanation, harassed, and even physically assaulted by the police. They feel that the racism and bigotry against Indians in Oklahoma is the worst they have ever experienced and a violation of their basic human rights. They are appalled by the archaic attitudes that still exist and are calling attention to the ongoing problem of police harassment and brutality in Tulsa and throughout the state.
