ysabetwordsmithHere are the character notes for "Our Power to Change."
Bam-Bam (Aline Bowers) -- She has copper skin, brown eyes, and long straight auburn hair. She has an oval face with high cheekbones. She is tall and strong. Her heritage is Northern Arapaho. She speaks English and Arapaho. She is 24 years old in 2013.
A skilled huntress, she appears in the picture with a mule deer. The name Bam-Bam came from killing two deer on her first hunt as a tween. She took her general education and other prerequisite classes at the Wind River Tribal College. Then she transferred to the Central Wyoming College in Riverton where she earned a Bachelor of Applied Science in Outdoor Program Leadership. Instead of a minor she got an Associate of Arts Degree in American Indian Studies. Currently Bam-Bam lives on the Wind River Reservation, where she works as a wilderness guide. She hunts regularly in all seasons, providing meat to other people on the reservation, the Riverton Sobering Center, and other charitable organizations. However, she hates cities and rarely goes anywhere larger than Riverton (population 10,615).

AMERICAN INDIAN STUDIES
ASSOCIATE OF ARTS DEGREE
at Central Wyoming College in Riverton
Explore the vast history and culture of the native peoples of the North American continent. Emphasis is placed on the tribes of the Wind River Reservation. Central Wyoming College recognizes that the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone elders represent the wisdom of the past. Their knowledge of the tribal traditions should nurture the Indian student who seeks not only education but also wholeness through preparation for the future and respect for the past.
The American Indian Studies program is a tool for that preparation and an affirmation of that respect. The program also offers non-Indian students the unique opportunity to learn in the classroom about tribal cultures first hand in the Wind River area.
(She grew up speaking Arapaho, so instead of taking a class in it, she volunteered at the college's language nest for the same amount of time to earn the 4 credits.)
