White Shield pastor honored for decades of service

Pastor Duane Fox was honored for over 40 years of service to the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara Nation during a community Easter dinner Wednesday at the Ralph Wells Community Center. Fox, a former police officer and founding member of the White Shield Spirit Riders, received a warbonnet, satin star quilts and an award from MHA Nation Chairman Mark Fox. The event, hosted by Councilman Fred Fox, also featured announcements of new bikes for White Shield students and tribal interest in a potential woolly mammoth project.
