2002 Yamamoto Cup

Wednesday, July 31st, 2002

2002 was our kick-off race and friends new and old turned out from as far away as Canada and Florida and as close as Leech Lake, Minneapolis and surrounding reservations. We want to take this opportunity to invite one and all to this heartwarming event. We are dedicated to teaching the Seventh Generation the honor, responsibility and respect of being Native American.
