Today
the Riders are resting at the Lower Sioux (Morton).
Today
food was provided by:
Breakfast: Darlene St Claire
Lunch: Dakota
Wicohan.
Dinner: Leith Family.
(John one of our Admins is one of the Leith
family and is helping with the cooking and serving.)
There
will be a Farrier at the Darwin Strong Ranch
Thanks
to all of the people who helped with the food
and the horses.
The
photo is of the Warehouse at the Lower Sioux
Agency the site of the first organized attack
in the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. This building
still stands and you can go into it as long
as the Museum is open.
Info on Museum... http://sites.mnhs.org/historic-sites/lower-sioux-agency
The
field on the left near the big tree is where
I heard Dakota voices many moons ago, (1990)
Of course there was no one there!
I suppose I should tell my story soon!

Good morning to all!
Creator we offer many thanks of gratitude on this
beautiful day. Thank you for hearing our prayers.
Thank you for keeping the riders and the horses
safe thus far. Thank you for allowing them to
be the instruments that show others what forgiveness
looks like in action.Thank you for the support
staff,and volunteers that are feeding,lodging,and
supporting in ways we many not know. Thank you
for the admin team that is doing a phenomenal
job keeping us updated and doing behind the scenes
task we are unaware of. Thank you for allowing
us a place to share our thoughts and Prayers for
all on this journey.
We ask that all our brothers and sisters receive
what they need today to keep their bodies strong,their
minds clear,their hearts open,and their souls
healed. May they rest well as they prepare to
continue this journey. A journey for our ancestors,for
ourselves,for our futures. A journey necessary
because of actions that should have never happened,but
a journey that you are guiding so we can all heal.
We give many thanks for our gentle warriors on
this ride! May they all continue with love,honor,respect,and
dignity! May you embrace them with your love,
the love from around the world,and protect their
every step.
Love,blessings,respect,and honor to all
A'ho

Blessings this Thursday morning to riders,
their horses & all support staff. As you near
the final destination, may your hearts be full
& your honor be worn proudly as you are nearing
completion. Say prayers to bless & thank all
those who drove along with you as support teams;
give thanks to those who housed & fed you;
and those who sheltered & fed your horses/ponies.
The Ancestors have favored you with good weather.

I
imagine that as the riders get closer to their
destination their hearts get heavy with the history
of what happened to their ancestors and maybe
there is a strong desire just to keep going,that
the sadness is just too much to bear. I have great
respect for everyone on this journey, may you
all be blessed and have your ancestors smile down
on you. Keep safe, keep warm and hug the horses
for me.

It's been a mild ride, weather wise, so far
this year hasn't it? That's about to change now
I hear. We're going to get snow here tomorrow,
but the big story is the temperatures are going
to really get cold. Miss you, my friend! Really
miss my Dakota 38+2 family and the Ride this year!

Good Thursday morning riders & support
staff. A few less miles today, but still a important
part of the journey. Hoping Warriors & horses
get some rest the next couple of days. Enjoy your
quiet time to reflect & hope each of you have
received something from this experience. Your
commitment & dedication is there, as you are
nearing the final days of the ride. God speed
& safe journey. Many blessings to you all
from Alaska & Merry Christmas.

Sad but important knowledge to have.
I can't imagine writing this as it would be so
emotional for me personally. May you receive many
blessings for the tireless work that you do for
the riders, the history and for those of us who
share the spirit.

Gloria thanks for all the History . Prayers
going up for everyone, I am so sad about our History
, how our Peoples were treated makes me feel angry
but I know I must not be angry I must Pray harder
for peoples to come together in Peace to let the
Healing begin. I must stay strong so our next
generation will never experience what our Ancestors
went thru.

Thank you for honoring the women...and the
men. I fear things are moving in a horrible direction
in our country at this time. I think to have this
list public is a very important contribution to
educating the public of the truth.

of suffering caused.. Bless you for your work
to keep it real & truthful
