A prayer for the Dakota 38+2 Memorial Ride
Great Spirit,
you see them,
you accompany them,
two-legged and four-legged
making their way
from Lower Brule, SD to Mankota, MN.
They ride to remember.
They ride to honor the 38 Dakota
who were hung in Mankato in 1862
and two other Dakota, who were hung in 1864.
They ride in a spirit
of peace, understanding, and forgiveness.
May the horses and the riders
and their families and supporters
know your presence
offering strength and grace,
community and perseverance,
particularly in the cold of winter.
May their effort
touch hears and minds and spirits
across this country
and lead to repentance and repair
on the part of the dominant culture.
May it be so.
Amen.
The executions resulted from the US-Dakota War of 1862. This source is the Minnesota Historical Society. A Go Fund Me page by the Dakota 38plus2 Wokiksuye Horse Ride 2022 provides information about the ride and the history behind it, including the conflict and the establishment of the ride. It offers an opportunity to support the ride and links to a vide about the ride.

They ride
In the early morning they rise.
People and horses they ride.
They pray and eat.
Riders mount horses
and into the pale light, in prayer
together hey begin to ride.
Through the mist,
they ride.
Through the fog,
they ride.
Through the cold,
they ride.
Through the rain,
they ride.
Through the snow,
they ride.
Through the ice,
they ride.
To remember,
they ride.
To tell the story,
they ride.
To bear witness,
they ride.
To grieve,
they ride.
To heal,
they ride.
To hope,
they ride.
For the 38+2,
they ride.
For justice,
they ride.
For the people,
they ride.
For themselves,
they ride.
For the future,
they ride.
For us all,
they ride.
To Mankato,
traveling through the past,
inspiring the present,
shaping the future,
they ride.
