Members of the Canupawakpa Dakota Nation Unity Riders, of the Sioux Native American tribe, are photographed outside the United Nations offices after arriving on horseback in commemoration of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples in Manhattan, New York. The Riders made their way on horseback from Mantioba in Canada to New York, which they say is their native homeland, to build goodwill and better friendship with those who call the New York region their home now, they said.
