Activists march from NY to Boston in support of Indigenous leaders
Activists are undertaking a six-day, 160-mile walk across Massachusetts to advocate for changing state symbols that depict Indigenous imagery, specifically the state flag and seal featuring a colonial sword associated with violence against Native Americans. The march, which began near the New York border, aims to deliver resolutions, petitions, and letters supporting the removal or modification of these symbols to Governor Maura Healey. The effort highlights ongoing delays by the state's advisory commission in updating the symbols and calls attention to broader issues of representation and accuracy of Indigenous imagery in Massachusetts.
