"Sutherland, 22, never expected to win this year’s homecoming royalty contest at Southern Utah University. But she’s honored that she did — and that she became the first Indigenous student to claim the title in the school’s history."

When I first came to Utah in 1970, there was what was called an Indian School in Brigham City. I thought it was interesting - and did not know that many of the children there were taken from their families and educated in White culture. They were not allowed to speak their own language or choose their educational path. It closed in 1984 after being renamed the Intermountain Inter-Tribal School.

All the above occurred in Cedar City, which is approximately 250 miles South of SLC.
