Thank you for allowing me to be part of your group. I was born and raised in Mankato. I have always been very ashamed that this is what my hometown is known for. I think it is so awesome that the fallen are not forgotten. Words fail to express how important it is to remember and show respect.

Scott Berglund·
I’m an educator, and I wonder— does anyone in this conversation know of an educator of Dakota heritage who enjoys teaching non-native audiences about Dakota history? Or any good suggestions for a Dakota artist who might be interested in an art residency at a school? Please let me know, or pass my name along if someone comes to mind!

Chaske Metcalf
My school never taught me this in history class. Thanks you FB for educating me respect.

It has been such an honor to be in service to the Dakota 38 + 2 Wokiksuye these last 16 days. I’ll be forever grateful for the incredible warmth and welcome offered to me by everyone. For a long time to come I will be learning from these moments and only hope I can continue to be worthy of this honor.

Gerri GrosVenor
So thankful the riders made it safely. Pidamaya for remembering our Ancestors. Many people who have been there, have said it touched their spirit. As Dakota people we are here, due to our Ancestors sacrifice of the cold, hunger, they endured in spite of the loss of their homeland. Pidamaya to the riders.

Sandra Jackson
Niawen kowa from Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne! You rode in the shoes of those men , the Spirit , the strength , resilience fueled you through what could see at times a very tough and challenging ride??Many blessing you all involved , the horses, riders , supporters

Alta Hertel
Absolutely beautiful!!! Are you going to make a book of your pictures of the journey of beautiful warrior riders n horses thank you

The pictures belong to the photographers not the group. I make the web page up every day of the Ride each year, and they will be there forever basically. 2013 to 2021, last year's was a virtual Ride using photos from each year. Rules of the group contain that Money can not be made from the Ride, so unless the funds were going to help the Ride, it couldn't be done. For instance 'Dakota 38' is always and always will be free.

Cherokee Rivers
I just love that precious image of what seems like maybe a mom holding her baby's hand and looking toward each other so lovingly. What a beautiful image.
