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.​

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 will be announced on February 25th when registration begins.
• Riders using Tipi Raiser's horses can choose four open sections along the route (average section length is five to seven miles). 
• 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 riders living on Pine Ridge ride for free.
• Registrants not living on Pine Ridge pay $500. Inquire with us if you would like to collect pledges to cover your registration fee.
