The run was a way to bring understanding to the circumstances of Native Americans and also to reveal that they were still strong and also determined to combat for their legal rights. The run was a success and also it motivated various other Native American people to organize similar runs in their own communities. This custom of running from town to town with a message has come to be a sign of Native American strength and durability.
