Yankton Sacred Pipe Run to Pipestone Quarry

Ihanktonwan Sacred Pipe (Canupa) Run to Pipestone Quarry and back to Yankton.

Ihanktonwan youth are running and invite other runners to join them!
 Faith Spotted Eagle said, "The run has been done for many years. We just returned yesterday from taking 11 runners for the route from Wounded Knee to Cedar Pass. There are a core group of youth runners who are running with heart and spirit.
 "They are making a loop through South Dakota Indian communities, from Greenwood (June 5) to Pipestone Minnesota and back to Greenwood on June 21st.
 "Runners are always welcome."
They are running for protection of the sacred pipestone and to halt exploitation of it.
