Dakota 38 + 2 Memorial Ride 2021
December 14th

Prayer for Today


May the horses carry you each safely in the cold, wet icey wind and their hooves find each firm safe ground in the snow, and may they dry their wet, tired muscles and eat their hay and some warm mash as they come to rest each day as they brave the path before you and them.
May the youth see hope and future of courage and resiliency as they help on the Dakota 38 + 2 ride and may the riders and supporters and community receive peace and healing in this journey. Much love and prayers to you from the Northwest.

Years ago as I opened the flap of Our Lodge - I witnessed something that I need to share for those who wish they could be with the Riders! I had been praying and crying because I could not be there to support my son way on the other side of Turtle Island. In the smoke I saw my Ancestors who had known and loved my son. Their image rode in the smoke. My mother, his other grandmothers and my sister. What saw was a Great Teaching - they would travel in my place, carrying my love and prayers. Very Powerful. So sending our prayers for all involved in The Sacred Work! My prayers from a Great Grandmother on the Chehalis Reservation in Washington State.

Because we are now a private group we can no longer do sharable posts. You can cut and paste it and add it to your own page though and share from there.

Gloria Hazell Derby wopila tanka for sharing this…. Riders and singers will be covered for free. The money helps offset the costs this year and we are collecting donations for warm items and pre packaged snacks as well. There will be a donation box at the site.

We also will be serving breakfast to the riders only in the morning. Madison Area Stands Together [ MAST ] is providing volunteers and financial support, South Dakota Urban Indian Health has donated sage bundles and cedar for the riders and to make cedar tea. Dakota State University’s Equity Diversity and Inclusion committee has provided financial support for food this year and DSU’s Native American Student Association have been working hard to ensure the event is ready to go. We truly appreciate the opportunity to host the riders each year
