HONORING OUR PAST
Chelsea sang with a proud and
strong voice with the Little Eagles
Drum group. She loved her culture
and was always dancing and singing at Pow-wows. Her mother
taught her how to dance and in turn
she taught her daughter Tanisha to
dance. And drum. Chelsea was a
good role model for the youth. She
had a sense of pride that many
looked up to. Her family will always be proud of her and the person she was.
