Volume 6, Issue 1 Page 3 Mr. MacDonald, Alumni of the Year Mr. Jeremy MacDonald has been recognized by the University of Montana’s Native American Studies Department as a recipient of their Alumni of the Year Award. He is being honored because of his “fine service and commitment to making the world a better place for American Indian people through educating tribal young people and guiding them through [his] role as a basketball coach.” As a recipient of this award, Mr. MacDonald traveled to Missoula on May 18 to be honored at the graduation ceremonies. Mr. Mac, as he is known, teaches sixth grade here at Rocky Boy and coaches the boys varsity basketball team just down the road in Box Elder. Mr. Mac is a mentor and a role model to the youth of Rocky Boy and a loving father of three boys and a caring husband to his colleague, Julie MacDonald.

Duncan www.rockyboy.k12.mt.us Volume 6, Issue 1 Page 4 The Northern Stars took home some victories this year in Cross Country and Basketball. In the fall, Ms. Rachel Sieler coached (Levi) Kyle Olson to a state victory at the cross country meet held in her hometown of Glasgow. Kyle was the only Star to qualify for state. He knew going in that it was his race to win or lose, and he’d planned to win it. Once again, the football program was a JV program, so no tournaments were available for the team of Warriors coached by Rich Sunchild and Ben Tull. The basketball season started out strong for the boys’ team with the Native American Classic in Havre. Coach Derik Small was back to coach the boys to a winning season that netted them a 1st place finish at the District 1B tournament. Unfortunately, the boys didn’t compete as well at Divisionals, so did not make it on to the state tourney. The girls seemed to want to win, but were more excited for the boys to move through the tournaments, so did not get past distict play this year. The girls were again coached by Jazz Parker. The girls’ volleyball team was again coached by retired teacher Ty Watson. After working with the girls again, Ty couldn’t help himself, and was hired back by the school. He’s now the Native American Children in Schools Program coordinator. Ty’s girls didn’t get far in post season play, but they certainly became better players throughout the season. Cross country coach, Rachel Sieler is honored by senior Kyle Olson during Senior Night in February. Coach Derik Small is honored by senior Jalin Belcourt during Senior Night, his final home game in the Galaxy. This year’s golf team is coached by Mr. Andrew Ferguson. He had one player, Sage Gopher, who just missed out on a trip to state. Sage is only a sophomore, so he will have two more opportunities to make a run at a state title. Kyle Olson finishes strong at just about every track meet. He’s already set two new records in the 3200 meter race this year. At the Divisonal Meet Kyle Olson took 2nd in the 800 with a time of 2:03, he took 1st in the 1600 with a 4:38.53, and he took 1st and set a new Divisional Record in the 3200 with a time of 9:36.53. Kyle Olson is coached by Mr. Rick Sunchild and Mr. Ben Tull. Kyle has many teammates, but Kyle is expected to take the state meet by storm. The meet starts on May 24.

Page 6 Volume 6, Issue 1 Volume 6, Issue 1 Page 7 Son of Marvin & Blue Belcourt It’s been ten years and Jalin Belcourt has a trailer with ten inferred cameras that detect everything that moves. He has a shed filled with guns and pistols reaching from the top of his shed a mile down under the ground. He also has a collection of war medals on display right when you walk inside his trailer. Every day you can find him at the Spike telling his war stories. He is married to his woman from high school; she only cooks what Jalin hunts ranging from deer meat, elk meat, rabbit and other sorts of things he kills where ever he happens to be. Every day he loads up his guns so he can have a round of shooting at his 7 kids Jewelry, Jamal, James, Juice, Jalin and Juan but he traded his daughter Jewelry for yak in China, very hard to find yak. But don’t worry, Jalin made them bullet- proof fabric for his rounds of shooting. In his spare time he puts on his big boy speedo and enters in the powder puff wrestling association. He has multi-titles being a champ in the powder puff with 30 wins and no losses. He has also completed his life goal of being the 5th best hunter in North America . Boss like.

Son of Gilberta Belgarde & Scott Bradley Sr. Can you believe that Scotty Bradley has been drug and alcohol free for more than ten years now. He’s really proud of that and even became a motivational speaker to share his struggles and success with Native American youth across the country. When Scotty is not traveling, he’s home taking care of Rikki and Ky’us. Of course, Scotty is one handsome guy, but he is devoted to his family. He even had a home designed and built for his family. It’s that new almost- mansion over on Duck Creek. He even put in an Olympic sized pool with a water slide and allows both Rocky Boy and Box Elder schools to use it for their swimming teams. When he’s not working, Scotty spends time with his three kids and Rikki. Oh, I need to mention that Scotty has the most bad a** car around. It’s a hybrid but it also is the most amazing sports car you have ever seen. You’ll have to get him to take you for a ride in it sometime. AWESOME! I Scotty Bradley being of statuesque body and keen mind here by bequeath the following: I leave a piece of advice: “I want to leave a mindset (never quit). High school like the rest of your life will be a roller coaster of asiest way out; it’s the way cowards deal with call for it quitting is not the way to go. Learn all you can in high school. Learn how to be a good person. Learn how to advance your own life and get ready for college. But above all never quit, in sports, classes or in your own beliefs, never quit.” To everyone I leave my social skills and humorous ways!! To Bowen I leave my ninja moves. To Dakota a normal haircut To LaCrissa a chill pill. Volume 6, Issue 1 Page 8 Daughter of Jennifer Parker &Virgil Buffalo After successfully graduating from RBS, Brandi Buffalo continued her education at Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas on a full-ride basketball scholarship. While attending Haskell, she studied music. It took all of Brandi’s daycare, head start, elementary, junior high, and high school years to finally figure out that she wanted to pursue a career in making music. Creating beats, writing lyrics to songs, and even writing her own poetry; it all put Brandi at ease when she wasn’t playing basketball or with her beloved common-law husband Terry. For Brandi, making beats came from what she heard while playing basketball. Things such as dribbling and shoes squeaking on the court, they all made their own certain sound that is the basis for Brandi’s beats. The writing lyrics to songs and poetry came from being in love with her “best friend” Terry Standing Rock. Her songs and poetry, in fact, are so good that she has created a book with her poems in it. The book is called Let Me Put My Poems in You. Vol. 2. It’s volume two because the first volume was written by Chaz Michael Michaels in the movie Blades of Glory. So really she is paying tribute to him with her poems. With all of Brandi’s beats, lyrics, and poems being such a great turn out, some even consider Brandi to be the female Dr. Dre! After getting her degree in music, Brandi and Terry went off to Hollywood together to pursue her career in the music industry. Although being gone quite some time, no one has yet to hear from her since moving there. Son of Carter & Billi Jo Coffee I Jerod Coffee being of attractive looks and ladies don't forget creative imagination here by bequeath the following: To Sarain Small I leave my Locker # 310.

He lives a happily ever after fairy tail with his family. Failure leads to success– Jerod Coffee Volume 6, Issue 1 Page 9 Daughter of Josette Bill & Bert Coffee It’s been ten years since we last heard from Raven. It’s like she disappeared the day after graduation. Well, here’s an update for you. On May 24th, she was on her way to the 8th grade graduation to go watch Bryson graduate. But we all know Raven was always late for everything, so she was driving a little too fast and not really paying attention to where she was going (sound familiar?). Anyhow, she missed the turn off to the school, and drove right in to Havre. She decided that she might as well just keep going and drove straight up to Canada. Well, she didn’t have her passport, and her tribal I.D. was the only way they’d let her across the border. She got a flat tire, didn’t know how to change it, caught a ride to the next town, and realized she’d left her purse in the car. By the time she got back to her car, it had been stripped of everything. She decided it was a sign to just stay in Canada. That’s where she’s been ever since. Daughter of Martin Weaselboy & Noreen Day Child Its been 10 years and no one has seen Tracy Day Child since graduation. Turns out that after graduation Tracy went to church to confess everything she has sinned. After spending 3 weeks crying Tracy realized she wanted to do good for people. So within the time she enlisted in the military to be able to pay for some college she went to college and got a degree in missionary work. Tracy has spent the last 7 years of her life devoting her time and money to needy children. People liken her to Mother Teresa. But with all of Tracy’s You got to create your own reason to live and Focus… do what you can with what you have. Tracy Day Child. changes, it seems like it wouldn't be impossible for anything.

I give my hall moniter position to Jailynn and Shey Volume 6, Issue 1 Page 10 Son of Nicole Demontiney The day after graduation Darwin went missing. A few days later Darwin woke up on a water bed surrounded by beautiful blonde bunnies at the Play Boy Mansion. He decided he wanted some of the women to himself so he set up a meeting to talk business with Hugh Heffner. For 5 hours they sat there In Heff’s office discussing what kind of business Darwin can bring for Heffner and his bunnies. Heff really liked Darwin’s charisma and gave him a chance as the mansion mechanic. Darwin not only gets to work on exotic cars, but he gets to drive any and all of them with a bunny by his side. So if you see Darwin cruising down the street in a Lotus, don’t be too shocked. He’s living the dream out in California.

Have you seen Lola lately? If not, you can ask her about her children at the Rocky Boy School. After high school Lola had 12 more kids. There names are Lilly, Louis, Lesly, Larry, Limen, Lorrett, Luke, Lovert, Lala, Layla, Lafounda, and Lola Dee. They were all born a year apart except the two twins Lala and Layla. Lola has a wood burnt log cabin down the road from her mother’s house. She is married. Lola works as an air balloon navigator in the mountains where she earns about $300 for taking a trip for two people high in the sky. That’s where she met her love. Any who, Lola enjoys her job and every year she volunteers at the elementary school as both the Easter bunny and cupid. But her secret desire is to get married in a hot air balloon at the Albuquerque International Balloon Festival. Volume 6, Issue 1 Page 11 Daughter of Arnold & Dixie Four Souls In ten years Lanni Four Souls is back in Rocky Boy happily married to the famous “Thomas” from Smoke Signals. They hooked up at GON in 2015 and have been inseparable since. You can probably guess what they enjoy most because they now have six kids. It’s hard to believe that she has six kids and still makes the circuit performing in Powwows and remains one of the top jingle dress dancers. Before meeting “Thomas,” Lanni tried out Haskell for a few months, but missed her family too much, so came back home. It was while working at Northern Winz that Lanni met the love of her life.

She coached a few college teams in the Northwest, but then got an offer to head to Edmonton to coach there. After a year coaching under the head coach of the Canadian Olympic team, she was offered the head coaching position. Of course Cady took the job. She’ll be back in the US of A in Oklahoma for the most pretigious competition of her career. In her personal life? She keeps that private, but word has it she’s madly in love and has been married for seven years now.

She gets paid good there. She and Leigha Onco are still best friends, they own a car together and call it the cougar mobile. Leah still plays ball and volleyball and has won a few awards from doing so at the Boys and Girls Club. She is expecting her next kid soon. She has achieved most goals she made in high school. After having her child she expects to pick up figure skating with all her ball and volleyball skills. But let’s see if she's coordinated enough.

Daughter of Samuel Camper & Amanda Lamas Have you seen the new ads for Exotic Imports? If you have, then I'm sure you’ve noticed a familiar face appearing in the commercials and Magazine Motor Trends. You weren’t dreaming, it would be Casandra Lamas. The last we heard from Casandra she was off to college in her Audi. After college she went working right away at Exotic Imports importing top cars overseas. She was top sales person for three years before becoming manager; a mere two years later bought the dealership. Since then, Casandra expanded her franchise to seven dealerships across the Northwest. She even designs automobile models. You’d think that Casandra is all about work having been so successful in such a short time, but you’d be wrong. In her mean time she loves to travel, going everywhere like it’s her backyard. Although with her busy life she still finds time to do what she loves spending time at the St. Sude Children’s Hospital and of course with her Family. She lives alone in one of the most stunning (modern) duplex that she also designed with her love of architecture.
