Alissia Charging Eagle

Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe

Age: 18

I am a Lakota student at Takini High School. I enjoy sports and art class. I also love reading books and creating things.

This painting I created means home to me. My parents try to encourage me and my siblings to continue using our old Lakota ways, which makes me feel good. I love tipis, I love the designs and the process of building one. Tipis make me feel at home.
