Delaware Tribe of Indians Recognizes First recipients of Warrior Medal of Freedom Award

The Tribe on March 27 recognized the first recipients of the Warrior Medal of Freedom, the Tribe’s highest honor. The honor was presented to those who served in the military for their taking the oath to protect our Tribe and Nation against all enemies, and the civilian award is for the Warrior who fought to keep our sovereignty and culture alive and continues to fight for our rights. Below, Elder & Navy Veteran Steven Donnell presents the award to Chief Brad KillsCrow (US Navy), Sarah Boyd (US Army Combat Veteran-Iraq), and Annette Ketchum for her lifetime work keeping tribal sovereignty and cultural preservation alive.
