Congratulations, Jocelyn Bunn!

Birdtail Sioux Dakota Nation would like to extend our congratulations to Jocelyn Bunn on graduating from Assiniboine Community College with her Early Childhood Education (ECE) II Diploma.

This achievement is especially meaningful to Jocelyn, who completed her studies while setting an example for her children. Reflecting on her accomplishment, she shared, “This means a lot to me. I’m doing this for my children to show them that no matter when you begin your journey, it’s possible to achieve anything.”

She would like to thank her husband and family for believing in her, Birdtail Sioux Dakota Nation for its support, and her instructors at Assiniboine Community College for their guidance throughout her studies.

When asked what advice she would offer others, Jocelyn said, “Do what your heart desires and never stop learning.”

We are proud of your accomplishment, Jocelyn, and wish you continued success!⭐️🎓

Birdtail Sioux Dakota Nation is incredibly proud of Khloe Hanska for representing Chan Kagha Otina Dakota Wayawa Tipi School at the 2026 Canada-Wide Science Fair in Edmonton, Alberta.

The Canada-Wide Science Fair brings together some of the brightest young minds from across the country, showcasing innovative projects, the future of STEM, and the next generation of Canada’s scientists.

Khloe’s project focuses on creating homemade natural eyeliner using Dakota herbs and natural ingredients, including sunflower oil, aloe vera gel, and homemade charcoal. Her project reflects the creativity and curiosity of our youth and the revitalization of traditional knowledge.

We wish Khloe all the best throughout the week as she connects with students from across Canada, explores inspiring projects, and proudly represents Birdtail Sioux Dakota Nation.

Congratulations and good luck, Khloe. We are cheering you on! 🧪🥼🔬
