Christina Rose, Native Sun News staff writer, penned a great read and posted a sweet photo at indianz. Here's a splice from her piece be-linked by me:
When Whitney Rencountre saw his young daughter standing in the Winner’s Circle for the pre-teen Miss Rapid City Pageant, he was filled with emotion. “She was the only Lakota,” he said. For Jaylee Rencountre, 11, who placed fourth in the competition, participating in the pageant was a dream come true. Despite her reputation for being shy, it seems she’s quietly been preparing for this for years. Whitney, who works with the after-school program Ateyapi, said, “With our history, the Lakota and Dakota, we understand the importance of overcoming obstacles and breaking down the walls of stereotypes and racism. It reminded me of how resilient our people are."Art Alley is bringing ecotourists to Rapid City: Karl Gehrke featured it during Dakota Midday segment on Bill Janklow's idea of public radio.
