Students from the Tiospa Zina Tribal School marched in the inaugural parade for President Barack Obama.

The students were part of a delegation from the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate that included veterans. They represented the tribes of North Dakota in the parade.

"I was pretty happy just to see someone from our reservation, like, showing our culture off," fellow student Jennifer Rondell, who watched the parade from school, told KELO-TV.
