One Native American by the name of
Levi Horn had a dream to one day play in the NFL and become a role model in the
Native American community.
Levi Horn was born in the Northern Cheyenne-
Montana Tribe and raised in Lame Deer located on the Northern Cheyenne
Reservation. Living on a reservation is very hard. Most people that live on the
reservation are very poor including Levi’s family. The reservation where he was
from was the worst reservation because of the health care system that was in
Lame deer in the area that Levi lived in. Levi knew that reservations were not
a very good place to live in from experience, so he wanted to do something about
it.
Levi got recruited by the University of
Oregon but left very fast because of playing time to the University of Montana
near the reservation where he grew up. This was not common for many Native
Americans to go to college. This was the start for Levi to become a role model
for the Native American community.
But Levi wanted to become more of an
influence by doing something that almost no native American have done or are
currently doing and that was to be part of the National Football League (NFL).
Once he made his way into the NFL he knew that it was his chance to be able to
make a difference.
To make a difference in the native
community, Levi went back to reservations to talk to kids about how it doesn’t
matter if you are a Native American is that if you work hard then your capable
of doing anything He also wanted to help the overall community because he knew
that the conditions of reservations are so bad.
This was the most important site that I used for this project it gave me the most information that I could use for my project. It gave me information about where he was from to his life in college to how he got to be in the NFL.
This site provided me with the information about Levi's home reservation.
This site gave me the an idea about what happened throughout his life to get to where he is today.
