DAKOTA 38+ 2 MEMORIAL RIDE - 2022

Hello, It is December 15th, 2022, and the final Dakota 38 + 2 Memorial Ride is in it's sixth day. This is the sixth 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 photographer Nina Fox in Flandreau with the horses in 2019
Thank you for all of the wonderful photos you have added to the Ride group Nina, Always beautiful, and from the heart, We thank you so much!

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

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

Prayers for the day from
Dawn Cunningham Beard in 2014
There is something about believing in ourselves, there is something about believing in our family, our community, our Nation …in our purpose here today... there is something in feeling full by that belief. That something makes things better. Our prayers for the strength, clarity and calling in of healing to each and everyone this ride touches.

Diane Vitrac-Kessler also in 2014
Prayers and healing lights sent to Jim and all riders for a safe journey. May all benefit from this vision quest, may all find healing and love within themselves. We never met, but we are connected through the heart and love you all!

The biggest prayer of all was given by the following people in 2008

These are the talented people who made the 'Dakota 38' movie.
L to R: Pancho, Silas, Sarah and Adam
This photo was taken on the 2008 Ride while they were having a meeting in between doing the filming.

Thank you, all of you, for making such a splended, moving, amazing Movie, that has touched people all around the world.
Had it not been for your work people would not have learned about the 38 + 2.
It was a joy knowing you.

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.
