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.
