Lance Bandley ReportingHundreds of Utah Native Americans marched down State Street to the Federal building.

"We're out here marching because they want to cut the funding on the clinics nation-wide. It's going to affect all the American Indians."

Some were dressed in traditional Native American clothing and carrying signs that say "save the Indian Walk-in Center."

"You know they're taking advantage of all the ethnic communities, defunding them. That's not right, we're tax payers and we need those services."

They say a loss of funding will take away critical needs for this community.
