Due to Covid 19
the Ride is not happening this year, so I am making up a virtual
Ride from previous year's Ride's photos and comments.
Hopefully the Ride
will be back on in 2021

Day 4
Sunday,
December 13th
Prayer of the day
Prayer from Mo
Blessings to all on this journey. We are in a cycle of longer
darkness, colder days, and less activity. Deep inside we have
an understanding, a hope and a vision that our days will become
brighter, our hearts warmer and our actions bring healing.
The visions are unfolding before us. Let our brothers and sisters
continue this journey in safety, strength and peace. Allow love,
honour and respect to surround them as they travel with and
for our ancestors. Allow the strength and weight of the horse
nation to be felt across the lands where damage was done to
be filled with healing. Let us reconcile a little more with
each hoof placed upon the earth.
Love, honour, and respect

Words of the Day
Abby Lulabelle Peawhistle

The Ancestors are smiling as the horses' hooves dance
along the trail as the fearless Warriors carry all our
Prayers for peace, love, healing and reconciliation.
Be mindful of the Ancestors' whispers that come to you
during this journey, as they contain the Wisdom we need
to guide us in our daily walk. In Prayer and Gratitude,
for ALL those involved in this Sacred Cemermony....
Blessings

'Anita DuMarce With much respect to Anita, Billy Ray
had a very powerful aura to him that captured my attention
throughout the documentary. His words and expressions
were compelling. After I watched the doc I kept thinking
about it for days, which is why I joined this group.
May he Rest In Power and may this memorial ride bring
peace and solace as intended.'

May your Ancestors smile on you throughout this ride.
May you see and feel their freedom and joy for your
healing. May we all be in the moment of love and trust.
It's all we have.

Thankyou so much Gloria....I have followed this ride
from Australia and am always in awe of the courage and
commitment of both horses and riders to travel in the
conditions they face....this year is different but we
will all be there in spirit.

The riders, the Sunkan Wakan, the photos, postings of
prayers, hopes, dreams are spiritually nourishing to
so many across the world. Our hearts are with you every
step of the way. We send our love, light our candles,
incense & feel you in our swelling hearts, which
beat the same rhythm regardless of colour. Blood is
red. Words are not enough.

Wishing every rider a safe journey to Mankato and gratitude
to all who are helping and feeding the group along the
way. Every step is a step of healing and a step towards
unity between races. Will do my thing from here for
all of you and the horses. Respectfully and with Love

May the Shunkan Wankan be
blessed on this Sacred ride. May Tunkashina Wankan bless
the riders and founders Jim Miller and Alberta Iron
Cloud Miller on their journey across South Dakota towards
Mankato, Minnesota. May we all remember that this is
a "Healing" journey for our Native people
and the Non Native people as well . So we can all forgive
the atrocities, forget the hurt and love One Another
and then and only then can we all be HEALED!!! Hugz

Ever since I watched the video, I have been praying
for you on this annual tribute journey. I feel this
should be seen in all schools in the country. I sent
a link to every TV channel I could in SW PA and a few
others (27 different places) and requested they consider
placing this in their lineup. No responses of course,
but the fact that so many are following you now, it
will spread everywhere. Many prayers for riders and
horses, and the ones who help you along the way.
