Preserving tradition through competition Unlike a typical rodeo, the Indian relay races offer Native Americans an opportunity to continue traditions and preserve family pride. Engineering student Scott Abrahamson grew up in a family of horse racers and has even created a team with his uncle. As a team they compete in a range of rodeos in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest. They have traveled as far as Florida to race in the event, regularly taking first place. Page 15 Courtesy of Scott Abrahamson
