Where We're Going

Unity Ride and Run

An excerpt from the Resolution for the Unity Ride and Run demonstrates our direction.

Whereas, the Unity Ride and Run is a grassroots initiative first mounted by the Lakota of South Dakota. The purpose was for collective healing in the historical trauma of the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890. Whereas, the Ride enlisted young and old, men and women to retrace the footsteps of their ancestors and properly accorded those killed through the massacre an honorary burial. Whereas, the Wiping of the Tears was a healing ceremony so the Sioux could set the pace for the seventh generation and concluded after four years, it was for all indigenous peoples. Whereas, in the spring of 2000 all the leaders of the past and present Horse Rides gathered at Six Nations at the request of the women. Whereas it was determined the Ride would ask all Nations to join the journey From British Columbia to Haudenosaunne Territory . . .

To supplement this historic spiritual gathering in 2004, we also propose a historic gathering of spiritual leaders, and holy men and women at our ancient city of the Americas, Cahokia, just east of St. Louis, Missouri at Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site, Collinsville, Illinois
