AMC partners with Standing Rock Community School to host local tribal engagement
Gen. Mike Minihan, commander of Air Mobility Command, receives gratitude from Indigenous Nations Equality Team during a Lakota tribal engagement in Fort Yates, North Dakota, April 18, 2024. The team presented Minihan with multiple traditional Lakota items for his effort in helping to create policies that break down barriers for members of indigenous nations to serve. Minihan led a team of leaders from across AMC and the North Dakota area who spent the day with students from Standing Rock Community School and the local tribal community to showcase the Air Force’s commitment to decreasing barriers for members of indigenous nations to serve and foster relationships with the Lakota and Dakota nations of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Airmen assigned to Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington, McConnell AFB, Kansas, and Offutt AFB, Nebraska, also attended the engagement to highlight science, technology, engineering and mathematics opportunities for students.
