Students on the Flathead Indian Reservation had the rare oppor-
tunity to speak with NASA9s orst Indigenous woman in space, Nicole
Aunapu Mann, while she was in space.
Mann, an enrolled member of the Round Valley Indian Tribes in
California, was the commander for NASA9s SpaceX Crew-5 mission.
She answered pre-recorded messages from students of Ronan, a small
Montana town, on a live feed from the International Space Station,
as reported by Scripps News video.
The event was sponsored by the local Boys & Girls Club and an-
other program called <Students to Launch,= which worked with the
club to send 50 children from the area to witness a rocket launch at
the Kennedy Space Center in October 2022.
<Knowing that Houston Ground Control is talking about our school
and our local Boys & Girls Club,= K-4 STEM Teacher Hilary Lozar
says in the video. <We had all the questions lined up from our kids.
It just felt like suddenly we are a part of things rather than watching
from the side.=
The video narrator highlighted the importance of these students
talking directly to a role model who looks just like them.
<She9s actually really cool and I liked how she took her hand and
showed the water on it. That was really cool,= Ronan fourth-grader
Bella Sheets said about the live Q&A with Mann.
