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.

MANKATO (AP) An annual trek to Mankato to remember tribal members who were executed following the U.S.-Dakota war has been officially canceled due to the coronavirus, although a small group of horseback riders is making the journey anyway.
The annual Dakota 38 + 2 Memorial Ride begins when some Dakota riders start a 330-mile journey from Lower Brule, South Dakota, to Mankato. Other riders, as well as runners, join them along the way.
The route takes the riders through Russell and Marshall.
They eventually gather on Dec. 26 at Reconciliation Park near the Blue Earth County Library to honor the 38 Dakota killed in a mass hanging on the site that day in 1862. They also remember two chiefs who were kidnapped from Canada three years later, brought back to the U.S. and executed.

The Native America Calling website and the Dakota 38 Facebook page officially announced the cancellation last week.
But at least one small group of riders has been making their way to Mankato and set up their camp in a park in Lake Crystal on Wednesday night after riding from St. James in the blizzard.
