"I COME A LONG WAY I COME A LONG WAY" I felt that 🥲 I could feel the pain it took to get there. Native kids endure through soooo much. Often times it's things we were born into & have had to learn to overcome so early in life.

Riding to remember and honor The Dakota 38+2. On the day after Christmas in 1862, 38 Dakota men were hanged (2 more at a later time) under order of President Abraham Lincoln. The hangings resulted from the aftermath of the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862 in Southwestern Minnesota
