Good morning all. Today is the first day of
the Ride and they leave the Lower Brule and
go 11 miles to Fort Thompson, Dam Memorial Site.

food over the past couple of days was done by
the Lower Brule Episcopal Church) Food during
the day and tonight will be at Fort Thompson.
The
horses will stay at Fort Thompson Rodeo Grounds

Thanks go to all of the people who are helping

I'm
sorry if this isn't allowed, but I joined this
group because of gratitude.
I'm from Buffalo, New York. My father and grandmother
were Seneca, or Onondowaga. They both passed away
before they were 50 because of health issues and
addiction. I live in Arkansas now, far from home.
I understand what it is like to be removed (a
long story) from home and family. I found the
smoothfeather productions video of the first ride
in 2008 in 2013, and I wept and grieved and learned.
I joined this group to thank you all for doing
this. For the gratitude. For the humility. For
the love. Thank you to all of the first riders,
and to all of the riders that have ridden in the
last 9 years. Thank you all for doing the work
to let us share in this experience, in this healing.
I'm not Lakota, but I'm moved in love and gratitude
for the work y'all are doing. I appreciate it
so much and wanted to send out my love and the
healing and safe keeping of my Creator to be with
y'all on this ride.
Stay safe and warm. Many thanks and love.

My Grandpa told me about the hangings when I was
a young girl. I am 65 this year~he would have
loved to know of the riders and all that has become~(Welcome
home.) He was a mix heritage Scandinavian~many
stories , many lives touch here........

May our Creator watch over each and every rider
and horse and bless them with a safe journey.
May our creator watch over all those who have
and who will be helping the ride and bless them
each with good health, peace and happiness.
My heart and my prayers will be with you everyday.
Thank you so much for all of this!
