Memorial Horse Procession
“A rider came, calling out names in Indian. You could hear the weeping. He rode three times all the way around the encampment, to trigger that sorrow. He called out the names of everyone who was killed and was left out there on the trail. It was those names he was saying. On the third time around, he picked up the pace and began to move, began to gallop, and you could hear him; ‘Now we're rejoicing. Look around you ... We are together yet ... Now stand up, shake each other's hand, we're here today.' That was our memorial. That is what we teach our children today. Take care of the pain that's inside and bring that out. But also teach them how to take care of that {pain} in the days ahead.” — Albert Andrews Redstar, Nez Perce, 2018
