Lacey Abrahamson, 2nd place women's traditional

All’s well that ends well. This year, the good news is that the Kyi-Yo student organization tallied all the ballots for the 2010 contest at the Adams Center over the weekend. They now have a complete listing of all the winners of the powwow and they have money to pay for the prizes. To recap, the students were short more than half the money they owed to contestants through their own lack of fundraising and because University of Montana administrators didn’t contribute to the powwow as they had done in the past. The UM has since agreed to pay the balance owed to all dancers.

Please contact Robert Peltier at (406)243-2039 or email kyiyopowwow@gmail.com immediately, so that all winners can be awarded their Kyi-Yo Pow Wow prize money. State your name, address, phone number, contest number, and category. Meanwhile, here is a list of the winners:
