Now that IHP will be recognized as a sacred Dakota burial site, what is next? First time is needed to give the people of Rochester time to digest this amazing declaration. Understandable. In time an official notice will be given to mountain bikers that the park is now off limits because of the sacredness of the site. The Dakota Community has met to determine our next move and we have contacted the park department about our interest. It was a good thing that we did this!!!! FOIH has met to consider their next move and at some point the park department will bring us all together so we can forge ahead.
Somehow I get the sense that this will be a slow, fractured process. It is a good thing that I am a registered nurse and I understand "fractures" and how to care for them; time and healing.
