Never forget where you come from” is a mantra I hold dear. Even though I’ve been honored to be a 2014 Cooke Young Scholar and a 2019 Cooke College Scholar, I never want to forget where I’m from. While I currently live more than eight hours away as a student at the University of Kansas, I feel a strong pull toward my ancestral home: the Rosebud Reservation in Rosebud, S.D., where I grew up.
