Norma LeRoy, 36 (left) and Alice Johnson, 42, (right) hold their daughters ages 7 and 12 in Valentine City Park in Valentine, Nebraska, on May 21, 2021. Leroy and Johnson say their daughters’ hair was cut at Cody-Kilgore Unified Schools in 2020. They have filed a lawsuit against the school, saying the hair cutting violated Lakota religious and cultural beliefs. The school’s lawyers have attempted to get the lawsuit dismissed, calling it a lice check and saying they have ended the practice for Lakota children. Photo by Chris Bowling / Flatwater Free Press
