2022 Challenge

   

2022 Hoka Hey Riders
KIKSUYA

ALT NAME

The theme of the 2022 Challenge was "Remember". The Lakota word for remember is KIKSUYA which implies that we all have an inherent and ancient memory of community and compassion, respect, harmony, peace and friendship.

To remember in this way is to better appreciate that history is not just a collection of facts, but rather a collection of experiences. KIKSUYA enables us to go beyond simply acknowledging or recalling historic events and dates. Instead, it demands that we consider unique social and cultural predicaments and understand how our forebears felt, thought, and acted. It connects us with the past and helps us better understand how that past has shaped the present.

Such empathy can be a powerful tool for action and Hoka Hey is that call to action and in 2022 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge adopted the Pine Ridge Area Chamber of Commerce as the non-profit organization to support. The Pine Ridge Area Chamber of Commerce (PRACC) is a 501c3 organization with the mission of bringing people together to make the Pine Ridge area a better place in which to live, work and raise a family.

Altogether Challenge participants raised just shy of $540,000 for a number of charities throughout the U.S. - including nearly $40,000 raised for the PRACC.
