DAKOTA 38+ 2 MEMORIAL RIDE - 2022
Hello, It is December 21st,
2022, and the final Dakota 38 + 2 Memorial Ride is in it's twelth day.
This is the twelth webpage of the Ride.
I have added the different years Rides pages at the bottom of the webpages where the other links are, so that those of you who are new can see them.
The background of this page
is
of the horses galloping into Pipestone in 2013. Photo
by Julie Carrow who gave us permission
to use her photos however we wished. Thanks once again Julie!
As of Dec 16th, we have reached 9,000 members in the group. The most we have ever had.
Sadly less
than 2% of that number are visiting the web site.
This section will stay here all along the Ride to enable people to get calendars no matter what day they come in first.
I am making some different calendars this year. The first one is of the horses through the years, the second one will be of unusual, beautiful, photos that have been taken through the years. They will be $5 each payable to the Go Fund Me page for the Ride expenses. The 3rd one I am working on is a Historic one, of the Dakota 38 and 1862. That Calendar will be FREE. Years ago I was given permission to use these photos from the MN Historical Society as long as I didn't charge anyone for them. So the Calendar with those photos will be free. Same proceedure.

I hope this URL works OK.
If you want a Calendar, please
email me at dakota38@dragonflydezignz.50megs.com
ASAP
Let me know which you want and I will email you a PDF file so that you
can print them out yourself. As usual I will need an up to date email
address from you, or it/they won't reach you, Thanks, Gloria
FYI: You get a PDF file
in your email, you can then print your own calendar, I do not mail the
actual calendar out to you. As I live in England that would be a bit expensive
to do!! It does work as I made the calendars for a number of years a while
back and as far as I know everyone managed to print one out.
For those of you who have ordered calendars, you are on my list and
the PDF's will be sent out as soon as I have them tested. Keep an eye
out in your email, also the junk mail just in case! Thanks - Gloria

I have the staff out again. I bring it out every year to pray for all
the Riders. I always add something new to it every year. I'm not there
in person but I'm always there in my heart and spirit.
It has 38 + 2 macaw feathers. 38 + 2 Amazon parrot. A feather is added
each year that I put it out
Thanks as usual Don!

Prayers and smoke up for a beautiful day for a ride! May Creator keep
your journey safe! May all riders feel the love that is being sent upon
the winds! May Grandmother Sun keep your bodies warm, Mother Earth unfold
the gentle terrain before the four legged, and all who are participating
be blessed with the blessings they so deserve!
May we all walk together
with dignity, grace, love, support, and honor to those before and those
to come! May we always be respectful, and stay humble. May we never waiver
in our beliefs, and our voices be heard!
Love and blessings to all
A'ho
Here are some good wishes
for the Riders that came in since yesterday.
Once I have collected your post I will like it. If I haven't liked it
I won't have got it on my file yet.
Day 11/12
| Jeff Galuza 58,433 days since the Hanging in Mankato. A lot of days of suffering, denial, ignorance. Your work on this journey is erasing the excuses and helping to give hope to many. You are on an historic quest that will ring louder than the events of old. You will also be remembered. Thank you for your effort and Sacrifice |

Ripka is with Alice Erickson. Pipestone I honestly cannot put into words the experience it has been welcoming and sending off the Dakota 38+2 riders. These riders need your prayers this week as they ride through these dangerous temperatures coming. Pictures and videos just do not do it justice. |

| Chyrel Decoteau Continued Prayers for Horses and Riders. We all know these are excellent Horsemen. The Riders will care for their Horses before they take care of themselves. Horses are fed and watered each day after they're turned out. Prayers for their safety. Wokiksuye |
