This was a very special time for us this year as my sister Valerie Moran and our horse Star were riding in the parade in honor of our cousin, Tammy LaFromboise, another daughter of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation, as well as ALL Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, whose lives were taken too soon.

My daughter, Andrea Bear King, also dressed in her traditional dress and walked with us in the parade.
