Started by Richard Boyden of Independence, Missouri, he makes the 14-hour drive to the reservation three to four times a year to deliver the items. On Saturday, he makes the trip will pickup trucks towing 16-foot box trailers following behind.

Over the years, Boyden says he has donated 35 tons of goods to the Oglala Lakota Tribe.
