Makȟošica Emataƞhaƞ (I am from the Badlands). When people think of South Dakota, they may not first think about where I am from. It’s such a diverse landscape. Where I am from there are hills and mountains. When I say where I am from I think about home. I get emotional but mostly when I begin to think about how much my goals matter. I want to be able to help with the tribal government and assist with managing the land so it continues to be pristine and cared for.

Growing up I was taught that everything that surrounds earth is important. When I see pictures of home, I think of Uƞčí Makaȟa (Mother Earth). It literally translates into grandmother earth. While I am away from home, I keep her in mind. It’s hard to explain when you’ve always been taught to be respectful of the earth, and I’m not trying to be whimsical. It’s a strong feeling I have for home, while I am here at ASU.
