The Longest Walk 5 distributes a four-page anonymous survey that will be compiled into one report. The data collected is of personal, community, and cultural experiences regarding substance abuse and domestic violence. We continue to collect and receive data through our partner events. Jessica and the team are building on the initial phase of the analysis. We are in the process of building the best team to prepare the presentation to congress in 2020.

Community Impact
Throughout this journey the walk has heard inspirational stories of hope, love, and light in regards to the issues of drug abuse and domestic violence. The walk has also heard of the despair that plagues the nations. The walk has seen that children as young as 6 years old are affected by these issues of drug abuse and domestic violence. Families are stepping forward and voicing the despair that has come upon them because of drug abuse or domestic violence. In communities where victims never had a voice before, the walk has heard story after story, about how these victims have been abused and are now coming forward. Native communities are crying out and rejoicing that the Longest Walk 5 has become an outspoken voice for the issues that have been swept under the rug for too long. This walk has seen families, united on a stage and stronger than ever, share stories of recovery and love. The walk has also seen young women and men who are still engaged in the hardship of drug abuse and have not found their recovery. The Longest Walk 5 is the most important walk to ever happen, because the effects of drug abuse/alcohol abuse and domestic violence affect everyone and are happening at devastatingly high rates.

November 2018 Update
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to advancing the walk forward!
We went beyond the survey collection goal and are currently working on the presentation to Congress. The purpose of collecting these surveys was to present a tangible source of data that demonstrated the impact of drug abuse and domestic violence on reservations and across the nation. Data collected from these surveys will help both the communities surveyed and the nation, to better understand the impact of drug abuse and domestic violence, as well as highlight some successful interventions or programs that may be replicated on a larger scale.
