2017 Lakota Nation Invitational • December 13th - 16th, 2017 • www.lakotanationinvitational.com 5Honoring the FlagFor years, Veterans have wanted to salute the U.S. Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem instead of just placing their hand over their heart. Now they can. A Congressional Amendment specifically states that “members of the Armed Forces and Veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute.” The salute is a form of honor and respect, representing pride in one’s military service. Veterans and service members continue representing the military services even when not in uniform.The following song will be sung prior to various sessions of the State Tournament.THE LAKOTA FLAG SONG(taken from "Songs and Dances of the Lakota")In this the Lakota, the white people, and the "foreign people" (other Indians) used to consider each other as enemies. Now we exist as a country and as one people, we will consider each other as friends because of that, we will gather ourselves under this flag. We will die for it, or defend for each other under it. So that is the reason we will live under the flag, the United States flag. We will be as one. So be it. That is why we sing this song. The translation of the Lakota Flag Song to English is as follows:The President's flag will stand forever.Under it, the people will grow, so I do this.Mercy rule shall be used for all regular season, Region, and Sweet 16 contests. When the point differential reaches 30 or more points in the 2nd half, the clock will continue to run. The clock will only be stopped for free throws and timeouts. Regular timing will be used if the score differential drops back to less than 20 points.Games will be two 16 minute halves

A commitment this Mnincoju Lakota Warrior was willing to accept. Through life long traditional teachings, Mato Niyanpi would learn and grow in body, mind, and spirit. His nation, relation, and membership in warrior societies have prepared a man worthy of the responsibility and call to duty.

Over a span of forty-one years, the Lakota Nation Invitational has brought together and united the people of the Oceti Sakowin, unlike any organization ever has! In setting the largest stage in showcasing our children’s many talents, we have commissioned generations of excellence. In over four decades, we have ignited a ame to empower our youth within the Seven Council Fires, producing an entire history of champions. Each year, the Lakota Nation Invitational brings together thousands of team members, parents and fans for the very best in athletic competition, cultural events, educational experiences and to honor our people. This year we welcome home our very rst Lakota Nation Invitational team, that was newly inducted into the South Dakota Basketball Hall of Fame. The 1987 Pine Ridge Thorpe’s, with an undefeated record of 26-0 are the rst Lakota team to receive this honor in the State of South Dakota. This history making team will be honored by the Lakota Nation Invitational on Saturday night, December 15th during the half time of the Girls Basketball Championship game. This year, we will also be honoring the Lakota Code Talkers and all Lakota Veterans on Friday, December 14th at 4:30 in the Don Barnett Arena. In the next four days, I encourage all of our student athletes, participants and fans to use this opportunity to reach out and network in strengthening our many nations, both near and far. I would like to thank the LNI Board of Directors for your dedication, hard work and commitment in making the Lakota Nation Invitational a premier event in the state of South Dakota.

This year will be no different, and I am certain that it will provide players, coaches, officials, and spectators with many great memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. On behalf of the Executive Staff and Board of the South Dakota High School Activities Association, I would like to express gratitude and the best of luck to all who have and will continue to make the Lakota Nation Invitational one of the premier events in South Dakota and a staple of the holiday season in Rapid City and the Black Hills. I was fortunate enough to take over for Wayne Carney as SDHSAA Executive Director in July of this year and have looked forward to attending this event since accepting the position. Mr. Carney left a lasting legacy of working to improve athletic and fine arts experiences for all youth in South Dakota, including all Native American students. I intend on continuing Mr. Carney’s legacy and working to ensure that the SDHSAA works with every School District, including those represented at this week’s tournament, to provide safe, enjoyable, and memorable athletic and fine arts opportunities for ALL students in our great state. As spectators this week, I hope you enjoy and appreciate the gifts and talents that are being shared by the youth on the playing field. My hope is for an enjoyable weekend of competitive contests, safety for all of the competitors, and a great time had by all. I want to thank the LNI Board for their hard work in preparing for this event for the student athletes and for their warm welcome last spring when I was given the opportunity to meet with them.

Red Cloud Indian School Public Service Award Recipient – Fr. Rick Albert, S.J. Fr. Rick Albert, a Jesuit priest, was twice assigned to Red Cloud Indian School on the Pine Ridge Reservation. First, he was a high school teacher, dorm prefect, school bus driver, and coach from 1969 to 1972. During these years he got to know many families living throughout the Pine Ridge Reservation, and during some summers he got to know some families living near the Mission. Later, he returned to Red Cloud in 2007 to serve as Superior of the Jesuit Community and as pastor at Our Lady of Sorrows Church in Kyle, St. John of the Cross Church in Allen, St. Stephen’s Church in north Kyle, and St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Wanblee. Fr. Rick never forgot a name. After a stretch of thirty-five years, he could immediately recognize and name Lakota whom he had taught or coached. More recently, Lakota living on the eastern side of the reservation would say he knew them. It didn’t matter if they were Catholic, Episcopal, or Traditional. He knew them because he visited people in their homes, led wake services and funerals, and stopped by Little Wound and Crazy Horse schools to meet students and staff. He was always ready to help people in need. Most of all, he listened well to people of all ages and received their stories with compassion and caring. He accepted people as they were and encouraged them to be the person they desired and dreamed they could be. It is no wonder that people were saddened when they heard Fr. Rick would be leaving the reservation. One woman said what many people felt: “He is one of us.” Mitakuye Oyasin.Public Service AwardsAmy AshmoreFr. Rick Albert, S.J.

Pat was raised by her Grandmother Lima Fallis Durkin on the Fort George bottom. Rain, snow or wind, Pat walked to the Fort George School every day, unless the bulls were out! While in the 6th grade, Pat moved to Kadoka SD where she joined her mother, father and sister Mickey. This was an adjustment, not only did she now have a sister, who she became great friends with; she had running water, electricity and did not have to walk to school every day. Graduating from Kadoka High School, Pat intended on going to nurses training in Yankton, her plans changed and she married Chris W. Madsen. Chris and Pat started their family of seven children in Long Valley. Three of the children attended and graduated from Lower Brule, while the other three attended and graduated from Lyman County. Pat has been blessed with grandchildren and great children, all who are the best, just ask her. Longing for home, Pat and Chris moved back to the reservation 1n 1970, where they lived on the old Neil Clarke place, eventually moving to a ranch closer to Lower Brule. In 1971 Pat took a reading job 1n Lower Brule, in 1972 Pat became the Lower Brule Headstart Director. Pat believes very strongly in the Headstart program. Headstart provides children with opportunities they would otherwise be without and Pat makes every attempt to provide every child on the Lower Brule Sioux Reservation a head start. Pat has long believed that the way people relate to children makes a difference in their lives, no matter where you are at, school, Pow Wow or home. If you respect a child they will grow up respecting themselves, family, Mother Earth and others.Public Service AwardsPat MadsenTwo very familiar faces on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

2017 Lakota Nation Invitational • December 13th - 16th, 2017 • www.lakotanationinvitational.com 72Heartbreak in basketball can sometimes be the start of something special. Pine Ridge High School battled into a second overtime before the Thorpes were outlasted by Beresford in the Class A state tournament seminals in 1986. That loss provided motivation moving forward. The following year Pine Ridge met all challenges with erce determination. The result was a state championship. In recognition of their memorable 26-0 season, the 1987 Thorpes are being honored as this year’s Team of Excellence by the South Dakota High School-Basketball Hall of Fame.Pine Ridge defeated Lennox 60-53 in the title game, overcoming a 13-point decit late in the third quarter. Willie White sparked the comeback and nished with 34 points. After the season, Coach Jesse Mendoza said, “When we lost in double overtime in the state tournament a year ago, the kids dedicated themselves to coming back and winning it all.” White was the leader, a 6-foot-5 senior who ended his career with 1,428 points and 794 rebounds. A four -year starter, he played in the state tourney each season. White was all-state as a junior and senior and in those two years averaged 23 points and 12.5 rebounds per game.George Bettelyoun, a 6-1 junior, provided 19 points per game while 6-4 junior Bryan Brewer contributed 16. Other starters were seniors Jim Colhoff and Tony Brewer. Earliest off the bench were freshman Brent Brewer and sophomore Jeff Big Crow. Despite playing only three home games due to scheduling difculty, Pine Ridge marched through the regular season. In the nal poll before tournament play began, defending state champion Hanson was No. 1 with the Thorpes ranked No. 2. After winning the championship, Mendoza, a former star player at Cheyenne-Eagle Butte and Huron University, was named Coach of the Year by the South Dakota High School Coaches Association. White was a nalist for the Mr. Basketball award. A 12-person panel of longtime basketball experts was assembled by the Argus Leader in 1988 to rate the top teams in state history regardless of class. The 1987 Thorpes were ranked as the 11th greatest team of all time.The 26-0 Pine Ridge Thorpes of 1987 were, from left, front. Ron Martin, Jeff Big Crow, Jon Garnier, Jim Colhoff, Joe Mesteth, Don Garnier. Back, Bart Ecoffey, Tony Brewer, George Bettelyoun, Bryan Brewer, Brent Brewer, Willie White, Paul Cedar Face and Coach Jesse Mendoza.
