🪶 Sitting Bull Honor Ride • Community Gathering 🪶

Tomorrow, Standing Rock CDC is honored to welcome our relatives from the Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux Tribes as they join us to share stories, teachings, and insight into the upcoming Tatanka Iyotake Honor Ride.

This gathering is an opportunity to come together in a good way. To listen, learn, and honor the legacy of Sitting Bull.

A traditional meal will be served, and we will close in prayer as we hold in our hearts the seven generations before us and the seven generations yet to come.

We invite all community members to join us. Sitting Bull descendants, elders, knowledge keepers, youth, and families. We share space for everyone.

We’re excited to invite the community to join us today from 4 PM – 6 PM (04.22.26) as we celebrate the reopening of this shared growing space!

You can find us at 313 Beldon St, Fort Yates, ND, located behind the Sioux County Extension Office and Sioux County Building.

This is more than just a garden. It’s a place for connection, learning, and access to fresh, healthy food for everyone.

As we continue rebuilding and planting, these hoop houses are open for community use. Whether you want to learn, help, or simply be part of something meaningful, there’s a place for you here.

This space will thrive with all of us involved. Your time, care, and presence truly make the difference.
