I am an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and I was born and raised in Armstrong. I begin my journey as a Cheyenne River Youth Project intern in 2015. Years later I wanted to further my work as a gardener and I dedicated my time and energy for food for the people and I enjoy my job working with the kids and for the people. I am very active in a variety of community activities and events. I am currently the Cheyenne River Youth Project’s Facilities Manager / Gardener.
