The tribal chairman encouraged the women to continue to do well in their studies and he congratulated them for representing Indian people so well, not only in Robeson County but all over the world. “We have some talented young people,” Godwin said. “It’s so refreshing to see them involved with their culture, learning their history and honoring their heritage. I commend these two young ladies here. We have a bright generation coming up behind us.”
