Dakota 38 + 2 Memorial Ride 2021
December 15th

Prayer for Today
For all the warriors whether they be riders, horses, travel support vehicle and/or rig drivers, family members, volunteers, human and equine care givers … and the all important “others behind the scenes” whose names and roles we are unaware of. Know that prayers and energy are being sent for you to be surrounded by a protective field of warm Light and Love.
Sarah Peabody Nelson



I encourage anyone who is following the ride for the first time to watch the film of the Ride (Dakota 38) and take the words of the Riders to your heart. Reconciliation starts with the willingness to open our hearts to the history and to build on that. Each year as I watch The film on the first day of the ride Jim Miller‘s vision becomes more clearer to me and the importance of this ride becomes more sacred to me
Jane E. Goddard

 

The Riders travel 28 miles today. They go into Flandreau where they have a couple of days rest before going into the 38 + 2 Homelands, Minnesota Today will make a total of 157 miles

Thank you Gloria Hazell Derby. Since facebook is blocked at school, the webpage is the perfect way for our students to follow along.

Cherokee Rivers Would you be able to give me the name of the school so that I can give a mention to you all later down the line on the website? I know privacy may be a problem but I don't have to say where you are located. The students may get a kick out of seeing their name!
Cherokee Rivers
Gloria Hazell Derby oh you bet!
We are at Unity School District in Balsam Lake, WI.
Students in the Migizi Club will be following the ride in the high school and middle school. Unity has students from 10 tribes, but about 95% of our Native students are Ojibwe - mainly from the Round Lake community of the St. Croix Band of Ojibwe. …

Cherokee Rivers Got it thanks, keep watching the web site each day!!


Michelle Free-LaMere
My first grade dual language class is studying this. Is there a page that’s updating with pictures?
Gloria Hazell Derby
Admin
Michelle Free-LaMere You can look at the web site each day. I make a page every day and add it every afternoon /evening with various things that have gone on during the day plus sometimes historical facts on it. The link will be added on this page once I upload each page. Hope that will help you!

Jeremy MacIntosh
Good to see my picture was used. May the Creator watch over and bless all the riders!
Gloria Hazell Derby
Admin
Jeremy MacIntosh I did give you the credit for the photo. It will probably only be used on that first page this year, depending on what else comes in to me. Thanks for the use of it. It fitted so well into the design this year.
Jeremy MacIntosh
Gloria Hazell Derby I love it!
Gloria Hazell Derby

Jeremy MacIntosh Another one of my favorites of yours, I believe I used this a couple of years ago on the site.

Faith Spotted Eagle
What is the website
Gloria Hazell Derby
Admin
It's one I have been doing since 2013 Faith, It gives historic information, what has been happening on the Ride, photos and various things every year. I make a new page up every day that the Ride is on.
Faith Spotted Eagle
I realize that and I am thankful , I was just wondering if you could post the site. It's ok, you are probably busy.
Gloria Hazell Derby
Admin
Faith Spotted Eagle I post a day at a time, yesterday's is above this post and I will be posting today's page in about an hour. I make them up as I get the information I need every day.
Faith Spotted Eagle
Wopida for doing that. My heart is with them and this helps. Soooo thinking of them as the snow continues to fall.

The people who asked this question were quite a few, this is just a couple of them

Jean Nahomni Mani
It’s a good day to ride. I pray for helpers to know how to assist the riders. The riders receive strength to ride and know their horses when to slow down down and watch their legs. Bless those who pray for the riders that their families know this is a ride to heal from the past and plan for a better future. Mitakuye Owaysin.
