The Annual United Tribes Powwow<br />
From Dirt Roads<br />
to Royalty<br />
“It’s a bittersweet moment for me.”<br />
That’s how Evereta Thinn, Miss Indian<br />
Nations XVIII, describes her feelings<br />
about passing on the crown this<br />
month at the 42nd Annual United<br />
Tribes Powwow scheduled for Sept.<br />
8-11 at Bismarck’s United Tribes<br />
Technical College.<br />
Thinn, a member of the Dine’<br />
tribe, grew up in White Post, an<br />
isolated town at the end of a dirt<br />
road in rural Arizona. “Because I<br />
come from a remote community on<br />
the Navajo reservation, I can relate<br />
to those who may not have been<br />
exposed to much,” she said. “When<br />
I decided to run for Miss Indian<br />
Nations, I wanted to set an example<br />
for those who come from remote<br />
areas that anything is possible with<br />
God.”<br />
