LakotaRide 2021
 A RIDE OF RECONCILIATION
​

The 2021 LakotaRide was cancelled due to rising COVID threat levels on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. This year's ride was planned to move through Colorado's front-range, from Douglas County to Larimer County. The shorter Ride was intended to honor and share gratitude with communities who have supported past Rides - and other Tipi Raiser's initiatives - in support of the Lakota People of Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Why the LakotaRide?

​​The purpose of the Ride, which is at the core of the Tipi Raisers' mission, is to bring Lakota and non-Lakota People together; to work, play, struggle, talk and connect through the sacred horse medicine! It is through experiences like this, and through the other activities that the Tipi Raisers facilitates, that we can begin to understand, heal and ultimately reconcile the trauma of America's complicated history with the Lakota people.​ The LakotaRide also serves as an awareness campaign; sharing accurate historical accounts, current conditions and the rich culture of the Lakota people. Additionally, the LakotaRide is an important fundraiser to support our year-round, humanitarian projects on the reservation and our Gen7 Youth Leadership program.
