LakotaRide 2019 - A RIDE OF RECONCILIATION
About 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 of course, Ride! 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 indigenous people of this land.​ The LakotaRide also serves as an important fundraiser to support our year-round, humanitarian projects on the reservation as well as Native culture presentations off the reservation and our Gen7 Youth Leadership program.  Riders and Supporters are asked to launch their own Peer to Peer Fundraiser but anyone interested can do so as well: HERE!

More about the LakotaRide:

• Registrants and volunteers (whether riding or not) can join the entirety of the Ride; camping, supporting the riders, caring for the horses, etc.
• Riders bringing their own horses are welcome to ride every open section.
• The Ride is now divided between open sections and invite-only sections.
• Open sections are listed HERE.
• Riders using Tipi Raiser's horses can choose four open sections along the route (average section length is five to seven miles)- but are welcome to stay on as a supporter through the entire ride. 
• Open section priorities will be given to registrants in the order that their registrations are received. 
• Inexperienced riders are welcome.​
• The Tipi Raisers provides horses, tack, support vehicles and Lakota guides throughout the Ride.
• Those with their own horses will need to provide tack, food, current coggins, health certificate and horse trailer- as well as a driver.
• Lakota tribal members living on Pine Ridge with their own horses ride for free- Tipi Raisers will help with transportation and expenses.
• Riders not living on Pine Ridge pay $500. 
• Non-riding support people - not living on Pine Ridge- pay $300.
• ​Not riding but interested in supporting the ride? Inquire with us to sponsor a rider, a section of the ride or the whole ride!
