Unity Regional Profile
The Great Plains Region consists of geographical areas and the states of
North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska.
The Great Plains region isn’t called Great for no reason, through North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska, you’ll see the prairie, steppe, and grassland for as far as your eyes can see. There are 16 federally recognized tribes within these states. There is plenty of history in these states and the tribes have their own unique and distinct cultures and way of life.

Nawh, katatAxaáA Koya Bearstail. wekUtpsiwa nooxí’ni’ na tšaápis.
My name is Koya Bearstail, I’m 16 years old and a sophomore and go to school at White Shield High School. I reside in North Dakota. I am a proud member of the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara Nation and I’m of the Knife Clan. I play sports such as volleyball, basketball, golf, and track. I find sports fun and a great way to practice teamwork and patience. I like to involve myself in any extra activities and be a part of our school’s Student Council.
I’m really glad to be a part of the Executive Committee and the Representative for the Great Plains Region.
