Inter-Tribal Women's League established a "Little Star" program.
This mentorship of the contestants with a young Native American will
undertake her responsibilities as a role model to our youth. Each
year the contestants of the Miss Indian Lawton Pageant will select a
Little Star to walk with her during her Traditional Dress competition

one year. |
