Kelley Bova was born on the Lake Traverse Reservation. She is Dakota.
At the age of three months she was adopted by a white family from Glenside, PA
and raised there. She was 50 before she ever met another Indigenous person and
that is when she found her birth mother and 8 siblings in South Dakota. For ten
years she has been reclaiming her Native identity and become a Sundancer.
Hers is a story of being caught between two worlds.
