1st Annual Wounded Knee Memorial Motorcylce Ride August 06
 
At the Wounded Knee Grave Site
The Ride in 2007 ended with a ceremony at the Wounded Knee Grave Site. Children, who reside at the home, participated.
 
The purpose of the Wounded Knee Memorial Motorcycle Ride is to remember and honor the Lakota People who suffered and died in December of 1890 at Wounded Knee, South Dakota. We feel it is important to educate and raise awareness to all people of the terrible tragedy that happened. By remembering the past and by paying our respects, healing and unity can be achieved.

All proceeds from the Wounded Knee Memorial Motorcycle Ride got to "Children's Village”.
 

Registration fee of $ 20 (cash only)

Ride at your own risk. This ride is drug and alcohol free. Not responsible for injury or theft.
