As the Tipi Raiser's 7th Annual LakotaRide: A Ride of Reconciliation moves through the Front Range, neighboring communities are invited to any of the listed evening gatherings called "wicotis" (wee-cho-tee), to welcome the riders, listen to the sacred drum, hear from Lakota elders, engage in dialogue around reconciliation, see traditional dancing and share a meal.

The Tipi Raisers works on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and other Native communities, providing humanitarian aid while striving to create trust and understanding between Native people and non-Natives from across the country.

The LakotaRide begins in Littleton on July 24th and moves north through the Front Range with Lakota cultural events planned in multiple communities. The Ride will conclude on July 29th in Loveland. The evening cultural presentations are free to the public and offered as a way to gain understanding and awareness around the history, current realities and beauty of the Lakota culture and people. These evening events will also include honoring ceremonies for individuals, organizations and communities across Colorado's Front Range, who have supported the Lakota People of Pine Ridge through the LakotaRide and other Tipi Raiser's initiatives over the years.

The LakotaRide also serves as an important fundraiser to support our mission: Through a variety of collaborative and multicultural projects, we strive to alleviate conditions of poverty, honor Indigenous wisdom, reconcile our shared history with the Peoples of the First Nations and empower youth with the leadership skills needed to affect social change in their communities.
