What this means on my ride
Caring keeps going after the ride is over: checking in, remembering the families, and finding ways to help the boys enjoy life.
Lakota spelling and cultural context: Aktá Lakota Museum & Cultural Center. Caring and compassion are also paired in Cheyenne-Eagle Butte School’s Lakota values. Spellings and English translations vary among sources.
