Running the Milky Way

There is a heartfelt connection between a man and his horse (Sunkawakan). One Lakota tradition is that when people die they go to the Milky Way. I thought a song honoring the Horse Nation going to meet their masters would be fitting. They are in the Stars running the Milky Way. Just listen carefully you can hear the pounding of their hoofs. When they race the sparking of the hoofs create stars.

We ranched and worked cattle with our horses. Sunkawakan working daily for us. Our three kids grew up riding bareback. Scott Simpson and I collaborated on this song honoring the Horse Nation.
