Shiyo Nigada! My name is Praire M. Toineeta, and I would like to say “Sgi” to the following people

My name is Alexa Jade Ledford, and on Oct. 9 I was crowned the 2014-15 Junior Miss Cherokee. I am very excited and look forward to representing the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians with great pride and dignity.

I would like to thank everyone in my family that helped with my Jr. Miss pageant.

The family of Sydney Jackson thanks everyone for the outpouring of sympathy during the devastating loss of our beautiful Sydney.

As this election season continues, I believe it is important to educate and provide a venue for young people to participate and voice their opinions.

We would like to say thank you to some very special people and organizations for their help and support including our families

Siyo Nigada! First, I would like to thank the Creator for the wonderful opportunity he has blessed me with as your Miss Cherokee 2014.

We would like to thank all of our members who came out and helped with the Fair booth and the float.
