Horse Nations Indian Relay Council (HNIRC) brings together the Horse Nations of the Plains in a team event of speed and skill. Indian Relay is a sport that encapsulates the centuries-old horse culture of many Native American tribes of the Great Plains. The Lower Brule Races leg of the 2026 Tour of Champions will be held Saturday and Sunday, August 8-9, at the Lower Brule Pow Wow Grounds on the northwest side of Lower Brule. (Other South Dakota HNIRC races in 2026 include Pine Ridge, August 1-2, and Eagle Butte, September 4-5.)
