Tech. Sgt. Darrell Charlee, Air Force Inspection Agency client systems non-commissioned officer in charge, speaks to attendees about his Navajo heritage and the importance of indigenous culture during a Lakota tribal engagement in Fort Yates, North Dakota, April 18, 2024. Gen. Mike Minihan, commander of Air Mobility Command, 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.
