A 99 year old Lakota grandmother finally walked across the stage to receive her honorary high school diploma.

Unci Rita Long Visitor Holy Dance was honored on October 21, 2024, at the Rio Rancho High School Performing Arts Center in New Mexico. Family, friends, and community members celebrated this surprise moment for the respected Oglala Lakota elder, public speaker, and founding member of the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers. The ceremony honored her decades of wisdom and leadership, with songs and words of respect.

As her friend Scottie Pierce said, “May we all not have to wait 99 years to achieve our dreams.” Her story is a beautiful reminder that growth and learning have power at any age.
