Kee, a Navajo and Rosebud Sioux, holding her 2021 beaded graduation cap last month. Kee was told last year at Cedar City High School that she couldn't wear regalia. So she wore a normal cap up until moments before walking across stage to accept her diploma, when she exchanged it for one that her uncle had beaded with a plume. Photo: Rick Bowmer/AP

She walked up a red carpet and crossed a stage to accept her diploma wearing an eagle feather beaded onto her cap that her mother had gifted her.

Amryn Tom graduated last month from southern Utah's Cedar City High School in the United States. Her family cheered.
