Dakota Plains First Nation and Dakota Tipi First Nation got together for a unique celebration this weekend.
Both communities held a horse ride from Dakota Tipi to Dakota Plains.
Don Smoke, education director at Dakota Plains First Nation, explains the significance of this event.
“We used to be one community at one time, and now we’re pushing forward our reconciliation efforts between the two communities.
