"In 2025, during the 61st annual Milk River Indian Days, I'm going to be the women's head flag bearer - and to me, that is major, because in my 57 years, I've never seen a woman in men's regalia in charge of a big powwow like that."
"I started to grass dance when I was just a little girl. My parents even made me a couple of outfits. And then puberty set in, and my breasts started showing, so adults said, 'You don't belong here. What are you doing?' I would get bullied by other kids."
"Instead of feeling like I belonged in the circle, I felt ostracized - I felt anxiety, I felt fear, I felt shame. It's just recently I went back to the circle in full grass dance regalia."
