This graduation incident is really upsetting. In a census taken regarding Native American graduates on a national average, we rank in a lower percentile. If this is the case, schools need to focus on supporting Native American who are graduating and celebrate them, not strip them of a prideful moment. Shame on the school personnel that did this. She offended so many Natives, and I was hurt to see this happen. Damn if you do, damn if you don't! Farmington is Navajo nation. What is the school thinking, plus you are in New Mexico..Natives populate this state!!

Oh that's so heart breaking about the girl who was graduating and made her cap her own and they just had to take that away from her special moment.

They shamed the poor girl. What cowards, pick on someone your own size.... Congratulations on the accomplishment, young woman!

the kids pay $45 for the graduation cap and gown - it is their cap and gown to do with as the graduating class pleases ..

She should sue!! U can see other students of color wearing Hawaiian flowers and lays and Mexican shawls so why just come against her and her heritage? Lame! She needs more than an apology, she need respect and compensation that her graduation was disturbed on unfounded ground!!!!!

Exactly... You can be proud of any ethnicity even be a white supremacist and have free speech protected... But can't proudly represent your Diné...

Does Noem know that all Indian tribes are a legal entitly onto their own via the Treaties? That Supreme court reaffirmed that in 2023. She does not have any special previlege or right to show up on their land and dictate. So disrespectful.

Why is a tribe from South Dakota Sierra Red Bow / Pheži Ĥóta Naĝí-wiŋ (Lakota, enrolled Oglala Sioux) telling Washington State what to do.

Those days of institutions preventing Native American nations members from displaying, wearing items representing their nations culture, including wearing them at ceremonies are ending. What was acceptable in the last century is not in this century

I am so glad that there are no drugs on any Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Any drug users would indicate outside presence of drug running provided by drug cartels operating in or around the area that prey on desperation from those seeking drugs to purchase. You should definitely teach your neighbors in Minnesota about how you accomplish drug free because every little town has meth!

If it was a Black Lives Matter Cap they wouldn't remove it. If it was a Mexican flag cap they wouldn't remove it. Hell, if it had a shamrock charm on it they wouldn't remove it. They only don't want Native symbols. It's not about POC in general it's about they only don't tolerate Native culture.

Scholastics is a wonderful thing. I work with lots of native american familes in our local hospital. In promoting books and reading to children, our hospital already does this. However, it would be wonderful if we had books for native families from these artists . How can we get supoort for native created books for those patients i care for? Woild you be willing to donate books to our native patients?

If the cartels are on the reservations, then they are active. The tribal leaders should allow the governor to help, set hard feelings aside and think of the people instead of the pride.

The one thing Native tribes have to realize is that we put people in positions on tribal lands who if they faulter in anyway leave and serve another tribal nation because they know people and benefit from money we get from government. Those political parties that support them need to stop.Border situation is worrisome, even for tribes who think they are safe. Whose to say the government won't look to unpopulated Native lands to try to support homelessness and people coming across borders to try to house these border crossers..think about it!
