Tom Ziegler speaks with pain and admiration as his talks about his late wife.

Dorothy Kiyukah Ziegler spent much of her life helping Native American youth.

She encouraged them to embrace their culture and a healthy lifestyle. She sought to help them escape poverty and urged them to get an education.

Now, Ziegler and other horseback riders are honoring her memory with a ride of more than 360 miles from Mayetta, Kansas, to Marty, South Dakota.

1. I'm not sure why I woke up so emotionally-charged this morning, but this story first thing really

got me.

I am thankful for this wonderful woman. I hope (and believe) that she inspired countless people to follow her example.
