Greeting Relatives,
My name is Cassandra Black Horn, my Lakota name means Her Beautiful Voice Eagle Woman. My parents are Cy and Gayla Black Horn. My grandparents are Paula Loud Hawk, Stella Iron Cloud, and Gordon Weston Sr. I am an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. I was born and raised in Oglala. I graduated high school from Pine Ridge High School. I proceeded to join the Navy after graduating. I was in the service for 8 years. My job within the Navy was titled Aviation Ordnance. An area of keeping track of all ordnance, building/loading ordnance, and keeping our Ship safe. After my time was done, I moved home with my two beautiful children, January 2022. I started my Bachelors Degree in K-12 Lakota Studies Education at Oglala Lakota College. Continued to work, go to school, and attend to my children. Within these years I have worked within our tribal politics and school systems. I recently left Lakota Tech High School where I worked with special education. Helping youth, connecting with families has always been a joy brought to my life! I am excited, honored, and thankful to be a part of our Tiwahe Team! I hope to help those that I can!
Hechegla,
Wopila!
