Tears of joy and respect, and sadness come as photos and updates are
uploaded. Wopila! Pilamaye for this ride, celebrate the coming of the
oyate. Many songs and prayers sent to all the riders, coordinators, volunteers,
and offerings of heat, food and space, and of course all others involved
in keeping us updated. My altar is alive with Spirit and my heart rides
with you. These songs are sent to you, family. Aho Mitakuye Oyasin!

It is so fitting that this ride is occurring right now on the heels
of Nelson Mandela's death. Both the ride and Mandela enter into the sacred
ground of forgiveness and reconciliation. Let us give prayers for both.
The world needs these healing energies. - Julia Kahrl

The wind is blowing strong & cold this night and I think about
the Riders and SunkaWakan of the 38 + 2, I ask Creator with a humble heart
that you all have a warm, restful & safe night. Each of you remain
in my prayers as you ride the trail of our ancestors. Nina Wopida Tanka

Sunrise
on the 12th December
Morning
prayers and smudge for all of you on day 3. I know you've awakened
with sore achy muscles after a good nights rest. Many thanks for
the sacrifice with prayers for all your people. We are one people
and one with the indigenous relatives from all around the world.
A friend from Hawaii will post information later about her class,
they will be following the ride daily and she will show the film
to her students and they will learn this history. You ride for
the ancestors who are watching. Wopila tanka iciciyapi. -
