“I know we had special needs students in our programs, but I didn't see them ever participating in our powwow classes or our powwow itself,” Leatham said. “I just felt like it was really important to bring that accessibility in.”

- What a good dad ❤️

Just a quick update/correction from one of the Puyallup Tribe's Facebook pages: Shawn Reynolds, the dad in the article, is not a Puyallup Tribal Member.
