2008 "Ride Across the Homeland" The Lakota Youth on the "Ride Across the Homeland" demonstrated the characteristics that have sustained the Lakota people. The weather during this
ride was brutal - for five days they rode through rain, sleet, icy cold, and an intensely windy snow storm that cut visibility to almost zero. (I don't
know if the weather service called that May 10th snow storm a blizzard but it certainly had all the characteristics of one.) Finally, on the last day,
May 11th, the sun shone beautifully and the riders majestically and triumphantly rode into an area where a well deserved celebration awaited.
