Riding with Native Americans - in pictures

[turbinetree]

To mark the 150th anniversary of the Fort Laramie peace treaty between the Sioux nation and US government, the Lakota people rode 400 miles from Green Grass in South Dakota, home to their spiritual leader, Arvol Lookinghorse, to Fort Laramie in Wyoming, where the treaty was signed

5. Interesting...

I've always read that a hand print(s) on the horse going into battle showed how many men that warrior had killed.

7. Wonderful pictures and traditions to celebrate the Fort Laramie peace treaty.

Thank you for sharing. Loved this quote:

‘We may be poor in the white man’s way but we are not poor in the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota ways because we are connected to this earth and connected to above and everywhere,’

Dave Swallow
an elder and headsman of the Oglala Lakota nation
