Our support from Tribal programs and also the girls’ parents and sponsors, including Spirit Mountain Casino and our Tribal Council, Veterans Royalty, Dakota Whitecloud for her generous donations, Margaret Provost, Social Services, Prevention and so many more.

Many blessings to all of our Tribal members. Thank you and Happy Holidays.
