While the Dakota 38 +2 Memorial Ride was canceled, a group of 30 Dakota horseback riders spent 12 days making the trek from Nebraska to Mankato for a Saturday morning ceremony at Reconciliation Park.
About six participants at a time rode about eight miles and then switched with fresh riders and horses in a relay-style ride.
Marseille Allen, of Flint, Michigan, was one of the riders. âI usually do the Wounded Knee ride, but I did (the Dakota 38) ride the last two years and wanted to do this one,â she said.
