Billings and Pryor

On January 21, 2017, Brandy and Elsworth GoesAhead (Blackfeet/Eastern Cherokee & Apsaalooké), Emerine Whiteplume (Arapaho/Apsaalooké), Whitney Holds (Apsaalooké) and Emerine and Whitney’s son were standing outside the Reed Point High School waiting to be let in to watch their children on the Plenty Coups’ basketball team play against Reed Point. They were told by Reed Point’s Athletic Director that they needed to wait outside, but once the Pryor parents noticed that Reed Point fans were being let in, they became very confused. The confusion was addressed by the Athletic Director who told them that since there was not enough Reed Point staff, they “they were only letting the white people in.”
