CHOCTAW
AGE: 15
My name is Kylee and I’m the 15 yr daughter of Willard and Marcia Ragland. I’m of Choctaw descent from both of my parents. I actively social dance, bead, archery and play some Stickball. I served as District 10 Junior Miss and Little Miss Princess and the District 10 Youth Advisory Board Representative. I enjoy our community service projects. I was on the Principal’s Honor Roll all year, received the Green Hand Award in FFA and lettered in track, fast pitch, slow pitch, basketball and cheerleading.
This is my Mother Earth drawing. Mother Earth is welcoming all generations of Indigenous women into her loving and protective arms. This drawing was inspired by my Mom’s work, she is a domestic violence and sexual assault advocate.
This is my Band of Sisters. My mom inspired this as she works with Survivors of Domestic Violence. She has taught me that we have to stand together and speak up and out for each other.
