Greetings!

Hello Everyone! Just got back from the Ride, everything is fine. Like the Buffalo Nation that stands around to help one that is down, everyone did just that. The Mennonites assisted with equipment to patch and get the people to Rapid City, two hours away, to get the Tires replaced.

Not every single tire as reported was the case, it was 2 on each truck and trailer, but one is bad enough. So all the money that was donated, along with prayers will assist the Ride. We are non-profit, so all is accountable for their needs.

Some will continue to Ride through Christmas, some will rush home to families, but the last day of the Ride is the 28th, then on the 29th will be ceremony..

A lot of these kids are learning lots from this, even the disgrace of vandalism and what, that brings to People that are trying to learn a history of a people from a spiritual perspective. So all is good...thanks all for the prayers! May you have a Happy Holiday. Paula

The Big Foote Ride

The Big Foot Memorial Ride starts at the site of Sitting Bull's log home, where he was killed by tribal police 110 years ago. The contemporary riders will retrace the route of Lakota who fled Standing Rock Reservation fearing for their safety. A group of about 100 joined Chief Big Foot's band at Cherry Creek. Big Foot led a large group through the Badlands.
