And so begins our graduation celebrations! This past Saturday, we celebrated our American Indian seniors at the annual Celebration Powwow! It was moving to witness their journey and celebrate this significant milestone with them, their families, and the entire community.

AIE Senior Jaz with a wide smile as she looks at the camera. Her face glows as it's decorated with her gold rimmed glasses, beaded earrings and eagle feather peeping over the top of her slicked back pony. Her blanket is in shades of blue.
