At Sunday's marathon, American Indian Community House, along with the Silver Cloud Singers, had a cheer section at the corner of Manhattan Ave & Greenpoint Ave. Cheering on Team One Spirit (Lakota/ Pine Ridge Reservation), and all of the marathon runners. Team One Spirit runs to raise funds to build youth centers and inspire native youth. They might have the chance next year to run a marathon in Germany. (Here are a few photos of Team One Spirit, also known as The Lakota 5, passing by the cheer section. Along with photos of the Silver Cloud Singers, as they drum, and members also handing out water to the marathon runners as they pass by.
