Savanna
Crow
Pre-med, environmental health, and Crow studies major
Little Big Horn College

  Savanna (Crow) was raised in the traditional way among her people. Crow is her first language, and she keeps her culture alive by participating in the cultural ceremonies of her tribe, including hand games (she achieved the honor of being High Point Woman of the Center Lodge District Junior Hand Game team) and dancing in the traditional Crow style. As a junior in high school, Savanna was chosen from more than 60 applicants to travel to Uzbekistan to represent her tribe.

Savanna is an honor student at Little Big Horn College, where she is working on a triple major in pre-med, environmental health, and Crow studies. Savanna lived with her grandmother when she was a senior in high school, and watched her health deteriorate as she refused to take her medications, until she eventually died. The experience inspired her goal to become a pharmacist. Savanna plans to transfer to the University of Oklahoma for her pharmacy degree, and return to the reservation, where she wants to start a pharmacy outreach program, where pharmacists visit the elderly and ensure they are properly taking their medications.
