My Cheyenne name is Meome’ehne’e, Appears in the Morning Woman. I am enrolled in the Northern Cheyenne Nation on my mother’s side. I am also Oglala Lakota on my father’s side. Making regalia has been a passion of mine. I am so happy to share my experience and my knowledge of sewing/beading with young people. I am glad to inspire students, parents, grandparents and community members in the area. I have been with St Paul Indian Education since 2016. I have been sewing since the age of 16. My journey started with fixing clothing for my family and the rest is history. Having four children that have been powwow dancers for the last 14 years has helped me to become a contemporary regalia artist/seamstress. Being a member of the St Paul native community has been a positive experience in my life. I try to give back what I have learned when it comes to being creative with fabrics, beads and anything that requires a creative edge. I am grateful to work for St. Paul Indian Education.  -Dianna Johnson, Sewing Society Lead
