Members, elders and officials of the Fort Peck Tribes of Montana held a naming ceremony and burial on Tuesday for an infant found at a local landfill.

The infant was named Wicahpi Wakun Win, which means Sacred Star Woman. She is also called Precious Angel.

The baby was found by tribal employees last August. An investigation was launched into the death but state officials said the decomposed body didn't yield any clues.
