New Message on Bay Area Indian Calendar

Friday, January 26 : Native in the Spotlight:
Dorothy FireCloud, a Lakota from Rosebud, has been named Superintendent of Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming. She is the first Native woman to fill this position. The monolith rises nearly a quarter-mile from its base and is noted for its use in the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It is a significant and sacred site for tribes across the Northern Plains, many of whom refer to it as Bears Lodge. How will having an American Indian as Superintendent change the complexion of America's first national monument?
