WELCOME ALL RIDERS !!!! A Pipe Ceremony will start this years event on June 12, 1999 in Gardiner, Montana. (We will travel from North Yellowstone Mt. to Hopi Nation Arizona) Everyone is welcome to come and join us on this SPIRITUAL JOURNEY. These rides began with the Chief Sitting Bull and Chief Bigfoot memorial rides, held on December 15th through the 29th, 1986-1989. Next came the Wiping of the Tears / Mending the Sacred Hoop Ride in 1990. These riders were foretold through visions and dreams of several red men who dreamed that the mending of the sacred hoop was at hand, and it was time to prepare the sacred Seventh generation. The prophecies of the Elders was, that it would take seven Generations, (our Children and Grandchildren), before the sacred hoop would be mended. That time is near. The Sitting Bull and Bigfoot Riders completed their sacred rides with the Wopila Ride held in Dec. 1992. At that time members of the seventh Generation of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota were given the vision to ride into Canada to meet their relatives who have been living there for the past hundred years or more. The purpose of this was to fulfil the prophecies of the Elders and to reunite the RED NATIONS. These Spiritual Rides became known as the UNITY RIDES. The first Unity Ride started in 1993 at the Medicine Rock located on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota. They proceeded north four hundred miles to the BirdTail Dakota Reserve in Manitoba, Canada. This Spiritual Ride was the first time in over a hundred years that Lakota Nakota and Dakota rode north into Canada since the return of Chief Sitting Bull in 1881. Two weeks later the Unity ride rode South to the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, for a total of three hundred miles. The second Unity Ride, in 1994, started at Rosebud Lakota Reservation in South Dakota, and proceeded North one thousand miles to the Pheasant Rump Nakota Reservation in Saskatchewan, Canada. Riders from the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota were joined by riders from the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikarar, Chippewa, and Ojibway/Cree Nations. This was the first time in hundreds of years that these Nations have united and rode together as foretold through Dreams and Prophecies. The third Unity Ride, in 1995, started at Pheasant Rump Nakota Reserve and ended approximately five hundred miles later at Wahpeton Dakota Reserve in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada. The fourth Unity Ride in 1996 started at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada, and headed south to Sacred Grey Buffalo Horn Butte, Wyoming, in conjunction with the WORLD PEACE AND PRAYER DAY, fourteen hundred miles. The Unity Riders completed their Woplia Ride in 1997 from Green Grass, South Dakota to the BirdTail Dakota Reserve, Manitoba, Canada, one thousand miles. In 1998, Treaty Unity Ride started on the Standing Rock Dakota Reservation to reaffirm the 1851-1868 treaties. The 1999 ride will begin at North Yellowstone, Gardiner, Montana, and proceed east through Bear Tooth Pass to Crow Agency, Montana.

To participate with the Elders in Prayers & Ceremonies that will be held along this Spiritual ride. We are absolutely forbidding any alcohol, drugs or fire arms. Each day of this spiritual journey is filled with prayers and songs, "and should be thought of as a ceremony in itself". All along this journey we are going to be riding through sacred sites old campsites etc. So keep your thoughts good ones and be aware that the person riding next to you maybe in prayer. The road maybe hard at times, but keep an open mind and a good heart. Try to sacrifice without complaint and remember that humor is contagious and encouraged. This ride is the first step in getting our people to unite in spirituality. <+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+> Regulations: There is a few things that should be stated due to the length of this ride. Conditioning of the horse makes it a lot easier on the horse and the rider. The horse will have shoes. ( gravel roads, rough terrain, etc.) Everyone is responsible for their own horse. Feeding, watering, graining, grooming, along the way. Anyone with stallions has to be more attentive to insure the safety of other horses and riders. Because we are crossing different nations and state boundaries the horse will need a blood test (Coggins) which is good for six months. Your local veterinarian can do the test. What you bring in you bring out. Here is a short list of some of the things you may need: * Warm clothing * Rain gear * Tent or canvas bedroll * Sleeping bag * Mess kit (plate, bowl, fork spoon knife, etc.) * Shaving kit (tooth brush, paste, etc.) * Soap & towel * Swimming trunks All my relations, Tatanta Chante <+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+> To: All Nations, Organizations, Groups and individuals interested in coming together to assist in finding a peaceful solution to the mismanagement problems of the Yellowstone Buffalo and to form Unity among all Nations. From: Unity Riders and One People, One Nation Date: June 7,1999 Re: Unity and Peace among All Nations, in finding solutions to the management of the Yellowstone Buffalo On May 20-21,1999 the Yellowstone National Parks sponsored a meeting of Nations to discuss the management of the Yellowstone Buffalo Herd. Nations were invited to present their views and to come to the table in a peaceful manner. Many people had many different views, however, we all had one thing in common...the future of the Yellowstone Buffalo. On June 2,1999 a healing sweat was conducted on the Yellowstone River just North of Gardnier, Montana. Many prayers were sent to assist us in finding the direction we should take to bring Nations together surrounding the issues of the Yellowstone Buffalo. On June 3,1999, Gary Silk (Unity Riders) and Gloria Wells-Norlin, (One People, One Nation,) began the process of bringing the two Organizations into one. We looked for the issues we had in common and how we could bring Nations together in a peaceful manner. We shared the hopes and visions for our Children, Our Elders and our Buffalo. One June 12, 1999 the Unity Riders will leave Gardnier, Montana, at approx. 10:00, A.M. to begin the 1999 Unity Ride. On June 20,1999, the Riders will be at the Big Medicine Lodge at Crow to offer a pipe to Sundance Chief, Larsen Medicine Horse. Our goals for the first leg of this ride is to have as many nations represented at the Big Medicine Lodge as possible to enable One People, One Nation and the Unity Riders to give presentation and information on the issues surrounding the Yellowstone Buffalo. While we realize this is very short notice, we trust that those who are able to attend are the People we need to share our information with at that time. We have attached an agenda for the Unity Rides, in the event you are unable to attend this first meeting, there will be many more for your consideration. It is so very important that you support the Riders and therefore bring about change for the Yellowstone Buffalo. For more information please contact One People, One Nation 406-582-4815, or Unity Riders at 406-848-7944. Leave a message and we will return your call. Donations can be mailed to 111 South Grand Ave., Bozeman, Mt. 59715 AHO! We are happy to provide a drug and alcohol free environment! <+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+>=<+> June 4, 1999 Subject: Unity Ride 1999 Dear Chairman Wyan Tayor Jr; They call me ( Buffalo Heart ) Tatanta Chante. We have been riding for Unity for the past 12 years. It was brought out that its our responsibility as care takers of Mother Earth. We follow the Creator's Natural Law, in Healing and Unity. We rode many rides north to unite our people. We ride in prayer for all nations to unite as one people. It's a hard journey on horse back, but we are riding for unity for all nations to help stop the destruction of Mother Earth. We ride strong for the children and unborn yet to come. We will not forget the past but complete the circle by riding so we can have a better world. Our only hope is through restoring balance through healing ourselves and Mother Earth, so we can in-turn help others heal themselves. We all have the same message in a simple way. The time is now to talk about these things to the people. We speak one language. We are all human beings. We can bring peace and justice in a peaceful way by doing these rides, It's time that human beings work together and think about Unity. It will create self purification and purify Mother Earth as well. These stories have been past down through centuries. It talks about a time when the Buffalo People emerged from the Wind Cave in Black Hills, South Dakota. The story tells when the two legged and the four legged had a race around the Black Hills. The two legged won and from that time on the Buffalo helped us to survive. So we follow the Buffalo, it became a way of life to us. The Hopi say, "Take care of this world through prayer, meditation, ceremony, and fasting". By performing ceremonies to restore balance, there will be a gentle rain. Grass and flowers will grow strong, butterflies and birds will come. That's the future we are trying to hold onto. These rides have served to reunite the scattered bands and the different nations which had previously been enemies, and to awaken the ancient sacred sites and tie their power together into a net of lively natural law. These rides have brought the people a greater awareness of who they are and the importance that each individual holds for keeping a balance between man and all parts of nature. These rides have been especially important for the youth. It seems to be of ultimate importance that the native nations now move to take their rightful place among the family of nations of the world.
