For her senior project, Whitney White '09 made a video collection of interviews with tribal elders of the Prairie Island Indian Community. "I'm helping to preserve our identity as a people," she says.

"We are very proud of Whitney and her educational accomplishments," says Prairie Island Tribal Council President Ron Johnson. "The special interest she has taken in the Prairie Island Indian Community's history and the Dakota language is an inspiration to us."
