Wolakota is peace, beyond peace.
Being
happy with who you are, what you have in this world and not wanting
more while in this world.... Sometimes, in this world you have to lose
yourself to find yourself.... I pray for Wolakota for all my relatives
who are lost and not at peace. For all those who need to find themselves
today, I pray for them as well. Wolakota.

A Lakota prophecy was given during the hard times of the 1890s. The Sacred Hoop - the tie binding the Seven F
ires of the Lakota, Nakota, Dakota Nations - had been broken by
massacres, starvation and campaigns to eradicate the Buffalo Nation.
The Lakota Nations are direct descendants of the Buffalo and their way
of life, culture and Spirituality are dependent on this relationship.
The prophecy says, in part, that the Seventh Generation would
come together to Mend the Sacred Hoop, restore the Spirit of the Nations
and unite all Nations to heal our Mother Earth.

'Wolakota'
- The word itself means reconciliation, or understanding each other in a
good and peaceful way. This word is from the Lakota ideal of living in
peace and community with everything and abstaining from greed. Wolakota
is to act and behave with ultimate respect, harmony, peace and
friendship. No matter who we are or where we come from, we can choose to
live sustainably, but we can't do it without each other.
To live Wolakota is to live a life of peace, friendship, brotherhoo
d
and sisterhood, and right relationship and respect between human beings
and all forms of life. Living in accordance with this belief encourages
people to step forward and take accountability; to work together to
right the wrongs of this world and acknowledge the
strengths and wisdom that all cultures hold in common; our connection to
each other and to the Earth. By upholding the philosophy of Wolakota we
can achieve the well-being of the People seven generations into the
future.

As
members of the Seneca Nation, the owners of Wolf's Run in Irving, NY
understand the principal of Wolakota and they believe that by hosting
the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, they are helping to unite the nations
together. Willie Parry & Sally Snow understand that there is a lot
of work to do in this capacity and, in order to help advance the cause,
it has been decided that the 2013 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge will BEGIN AND END IN THE HEART OF THE SENECA NATION AT WOLF'S RUN with Wolf's Run Transport and Gowanda Harley-Davidson as our hosts once again!
Beginning on JUNE 23RD, 2013
and traveling approximately 7,000 miles, the 2013 Hoka Hey Motorcycle
Challenge will test riders' abilities to navigate, endure and persevere
along some of the most technical roads in the contiguous 48 States.
The
Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is not your local poker run! It will try
your tolerance for ambiguity. It will test your determination, your
resolve and your stamina.
- It is not for the faint of heart.
- It is not for those are afraid of getting lost.
- It is not for those that can't handle uncertainty.
- It is not for the weak.

deep within to find whether you have strength of mind or a sense of
purpose; you are ready to take the Challenge!
