On August 28, 1804, the Corps of Discovery first met the Yankton (Ihaƞktoƞwaƞ Dakota Oyate) Sioux, meeting with them on Calumet Bluff, opposite the present-day city of Yankton, SD. It was that meeting that was the impetus for the next four years of outreach along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail.
This video epitomizes the mission statement of St. Brendan’s Traveler’s Missions: "Dedicated to the adventure of Missionary Exploration, to the ends of the earth." Following the trail of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and inspired by the book, "Ride the River" by Dr. Larry Christensen, we have traveled to the Dakota and Lakota Indian reservations of South Dakota from 2009 to 2012, doing helps ministry, and prayer/fund-raising "Ride Across the Rez" bicycle rides. Still photos were taken all three years (plus our trip to Russia in 1997), and video was shot during the 2010 and '11 Rides Across the Rez. Music by a local Native American Christian group, "Risen Warrior" from Wagner, SD, on the Yankton Dakota Reservation, with permission.
