2018 Lakota Nation Invitational • December 12th - 15th, 2018 • 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

2018 Lakota Nation Invitational • December 12th - 15th, 2018 • www.lakotanationinvitational.com 12Háu Mitákuyepi,As Founder of the Lakota Nation Invitational, I would like to take this opportunity and welcome you home, home to our most sacred Black Hills. In marking our 42nd Annual year, the Lakota Nation Invitational has continuously expanded our events, to involve as many students in the areas of sport, academics, arts and culture as possible. Last year we saw all of our events grow and our children excel across the board, from our Poetry Slam Competition to our Chess Tournament. We saw more teams participate in the Lakota Language Bowl than ever before and brought forth a rst-class Art Show, Knowledge bowl, Business Competition, Archery and Hand Game tournament. All these events and more outside the arena of Basketball, provides a unique opportunity for our students. This year during the tournament, we will be hosting our rst meeting in organizing a High School Lakota Football Conference. We will be sitting down with our schools in the rst stages, in creating the rst of its kind! As LNI continues to grow, we are pleased that the Rapid City Civic Center will be expanding their facilities as well. In preparing for a new Civic Center in two years, we are ready to invite more basketball, wrestling and cheerleading teams in. We have teams from around the nation actively seeking an invite into the Lakota Nation Invitational. As Director of the Lakota Nation Invitational Basketball Tournament, we will be selecting the very best in competitive play looking ahead and answering that interest in building a bigger tournament. With that said, I want to take this moment and thank all our parents, grandparents, extended relatives, all educators, schools, coaches and the thousands of fans who attend LNI each year, in showing support for our children. It is through your continued encouragement that our students will continue to grow and ourish. I would also like to thank the Lakota Nation Invitational Board of Directors, Coordinators and each of our volunteers. It is through their efforts, time and year-round organization that we are able to continue showcasing the diverse talents of our students. Last but certainly not least, I want to thank the Civic Center Staff and the City of Rapid City for their efforts in working with us each year, as the Oceti Sakowin returns home to the premier event of the season. As we kick off the 42nd Annual Lakota Nation Invitational, I want to encourage all students and participants to have fun, extend your hand in the spirit of sportsmanship and build as many new friendships as you can. I want to encourage all spectators to attend as many LNI sponsored events that you can, in the next four days. Our children need our continued support and encouragement. In closing and from my family to yours, I want to wish each of you a safe and happy holiday season. Sincerely,Bryan V. BrewerBryan Brewer, Sr.Founder, Lakota Nation Invitational

As a youngster playing little league baseball in Rapid City, SD, his coach a Lutheran minister, on more than one occasion produce a copy of Steve’s birth certificate to verify his legal age as he stepped to the pitcher’s mound. The opponent’s disbelieving parents and coach couldn’t fathom that this man-child athlete was of legal age to compete in their juvenile athletic bubble. But here he was ready to play, with that infectious grin that made easy friendships. Even his smile was huge.From his early childhood athletic exploits into junior high to high school through his college years are woven a string of remarkable individual and team accomplishments that defy comparison. By the time Steve was a starting forward on the 1969 Rapid City Cobbler State “ A “ Basketball championship team as a junior, he had been on the losing side of only one scheduled cage game in his formative years.And the power forward was a true athlete. In the fall of his junior year in 1968, Steve’s Cobbler football team played Sioux Falls O’Gorman for the mythical State “ A “ championship football title in Rapid City. During junior and senior championship years the, the Cobbler basketball team was voted in the polls as the top State “ A “ basketball team of both the 1969 and 1970 seasons, winning the State “A “ Basketball Tournament outright in 1969 with a narrow miss the following year. Steve’s outstanding play on the hard court was a big contributing factor to the forty-one consecutive wins over a South Dakota basketball opponents during this two-year period.By earning class “A “ All-State football and basketball honors during his high school athletic career, Steve joined an elite group of athletes who have accomplished the rare individual feat of dual sport all-state honors.And it didn’t stop there. At Dakota Wesleyan University, he continued his athletic excellence on title winning basketball and football in the South Dakota Intercollegiate Conference. In 1974, he was named all SDIC and all District in football and in 1975 he earned a tryout as a free agent with the Dallas Cowboys. He graduated with a Bachelor of the Arts in sociology from Dakota Wesleyan University. In 1998 Steve was inducted into the DWU Athletic Hall of Fame.But it was after his formal education that Withorne, perhaps made his greatest athletic impact. At a time when few Lakota/Dakota basketball and football referees were given the opportunity to officiate playoff high school athletic events, Steve broke the barrier for minority officials to be an active participant in the district, region, and state tournament picture. His competence, and revered athleticism paved the way the way for the minority official to be truly recognized for playoff consideration.

2018 Lakota Nation Invitational • December 12th - 15th, 2018 • www.lakotanationinvitational.com 72Jacob D. Neigel, Sr. (Jack) Jack attended school at Cheyenne- Eagle Butte and graduated in May, 1985. In February 1986, Jack enlisted into the United States Army. He was stationed in Hanau, Germany from February, 1986 – until February of 1989 when he left the service with an Honorable Discharge. After serving his country he returned home and mastered multiple occupations. From 1989 through 1997 Jack worked as a butcher, with his first opportunity occurring at Butlers Home Town Grocery and lasted until 1991. In 1991 the opportunity to become the manager of the meat cutting department at Lakota Thrifty Mart arose. Jack successfully managed this section of the store until 1997. While serving in a leadership position Jack worked with a large number of people and was always busy, but never too busy to take time with every customer and employee. Jack could probably have cut meat forever had he not had plumbing running through his veins. In 1997 Jack followed in his father’s footsteps and he went to work at the Eagle Butte Plumbing & Heating. For the next 11 years Jack worked for Plumbing and Heating and became a state certified plumber in the process. In April of 2008 this certification opened a new door for Jack and he started his career with the Bureau of Indian Education as a School Maintenance Plumber. Jack continues this employment today. Jack is and always has been the type of person that is willing to do whatever needs to be done. There truly is no job that he is unwilling to partake upon if necessary. This could be fixing 60 year old corroded sewer pipe at the school in the morning, picking trash around the complex in the afternoon, and answering calls for help with plumbing and all other issues regardless of the time of night or day of the week. Jack takes pride in his work and is a devout Braves loyalist. Jack is also involved with sports activity for the C-EB Braves. His quote is “Once a Brave, Always a Brave”.Though work definitely takes a large portion of Jack’s life, it does not consume him. He is an active community member and has been a volunteer fireman for decades. Jack takes pride in his school, his job, and his community. This pride is second to only one other thing in Jack’s life, his family.Jack has been married for 28 years to his wife Melissa and has raised two children: Jacob D. Neigel, Jr. (Jackson) & Cody R. Neigel. Jack and Melissa have two daughter in laws; Stevie Ann Neigel and Paige Neigel. Jack has also been blessed with five wonderful grandchildren: Shana, Spencer, Jackson, Liam and Mila. These grandchildren have only made Jack even happier and it seems as if the smile never leaves his face.The contributions of Jack to our school, and community are of the quality we all should aspire too. Jack is the epitome of a team player. His work ethics sets an example for all to follow that few if any can keep up with. Jack does the work of several people with an upbeat refreshing attitude. This attitude endears people to Jack, and it is rewarding to see someone like Jack win the award. Knowing Jack he will accept this award with a great amount of humility and reluctance. He may not recognize in himself all that he has done and will continue to do for us, but we sure do.Public Service AwardsJacob Neigel, Sr.

2018 Lakota Nation Invitational • December 12th - 15th, 2018 • www.lakotanationinvitational.com 93Waylon Cheyenne Cash was born on March 13th, 2003, in Rapid City, South Dakota to William & Lynell Cash. From birth Waylon had to overcome several adversities. In spite of having a mild form of autism and having to go through heart surgery at the the Children’s Hospital in Seattle, WA, he never allowed anything to keep him from chasing his dreams. One of his dreams was to play basketball at Pine Ridge School. After taking his basketball physical, it was discovered that he had scoliosis and yet he never gave up. When he started playing basketball for the Pine Ridge Thorpes, he was the happiest boy on earth! At times he would get a little down and once he said dad, why does everything bad always have to happen to me? I gave him the only answer I could give him. I said God knew you would handle it and handle it gracefully, and he said ok dad, I get it. From that time on he chose to give his best on and off the court. He loved helping everyone around him. His love and concern of others was a gift from God. His life was cut short on February 23, 2018, but he lived his life to the fullest everyday. If there was ever an Angel to walk on this earth, it was Waylon. If Waylon was here today, he would say keep chasing your dreams never allow anything to cause you to ever give up!Will Garnier a 1967 graduate of oglala community high school( now PRHS). Will was a good athlete in many sports. In Will’s sophomore year he started playing for the varsity of the THORPES. At only 5’7” he was dynamite. He never gave up no matter how much they were down. Coach Gustafson told the news papers we need to get him the ball he is one of best shooters in South Dakota. He averaged 20 points a game . One game he scored 49 points so that brought his average up to 25 per game. That 49 points still is a record for Pine Ridge high school and the state. There were no 3 pointers in those days so that was quite a feat. Will was named an all-state for South Dakota, WSD All conference ,and qualified for the state track meet in the sprint merely. When Will was 18 he tried out for the Cincinnati Reds, a pro baseball team. He did make the team they wanted him to play shortstop but Will wanted to pitch so he walked away. He is survived by two sons, Don and Veryln, and he has joined his deceased son, Jon Garnier. He also is survived by many grandchildren. His mighty Thorps spirit will live on in our youth of today.Ed Young Man Afraid Of Horses was the first referee hired for LNI 1. He was one of the first certified Native American referees in the state. He worked for Shannon County Schools as a cultural teacher and had a traveling puppet show. His puppets were exaggerated in Lakota design and brought laughter to all the children. He worked for Little Wound School as the Home School Coordinator and knew every student that was enrolled, their parents, their brothers and sisters, and their grandparents, and where they lived.Ed was on the LNI Board of Directors as the Cultural Coordinator and would bring out the dancers in the grand entry and would be the last dancer to leave.The Golden Whistler Award goes out in his honor to an outstanding referee of this year’s event. His daughter and grandchildren will be presenting the awardWaylon Cheyenne CashWill GarnierThe Waylon Cash Inspirational AwardSponsoring Most 3 Points in Memory ofGolden Whistle Award

2018 Lakota Nation Invitational • December 12th - 15th, 2018 • www.lakotanationinvitational.com 96SUANNE BIG CROW is a feature documentary about a teenager from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, who became one of the best high-school basketball players in history. While the rest of the world thought that Oglala [Lakota Sioux] heroes existed in the past, SuAnne inspired her struggling nation. But like other fallen heroes before her, shedied too soon, driving to pick up the Miss Basketball Award in 1992. This story returns to the reservation 29 years later, where SuAnne has become a household name. Her legacy continues in the hearts of the Oglala on the reservation and especially with SuAnne’s old high-school team, the Pine Ridge Lady Thorpes.Cameras will follow The Lady Thorpes throughout the 2018-2019 season to show how the spirit of SuAnne positively influences even the contemporary players. This is not a documentary about basketball. It’s a documentary about the power of positivity, determination, and thick skin. From tryouts to away games, and through the bitter reservation winter, we want to capture how SuAnne’s spirit still resonates with her people.We plan to film the Pine Ridge Lady Thorpes at LNI in order to document the importance of basketball to the Lakota nation, showing that it a sport of unification and solidarity for the tribe. We will have minimal, non-invasive camera presence at the games, typically a two-camera system operated by three individuals. While our focus is capturing footage of Laura Big Crow, her assistant coaches, and the Lady Thorpes, incidental footage of opposing teams and audience members is expected. We are excited for the opportunity to celebrate together the legacy of SuAnne, the modern-day Lady Thorpes and the Lakota Nation Invitational!All my best,Kris Kaczor, directorSUANNE BIG CROW DOCUMENTARYLakota Nation Invitational Grant ApplicationThe Arrow Financial Services’, a subsidiary of REDCO, LNI Educational Grant ($1000) is open to any high school senior who attends a school that is participating in LNI.
