Stormy Defender, a student at Chemawa Indian School in Oregon, won a contest to redesign a uniform patch for the Marion County Sheriff's Department. Defender, 15, is a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. Her design features a red headdress and an arrowhead and ax -- the symbols of the school -- along with tepees forming the seven-point star of the sheriff's office. "Ever since I was small, I've drawn a lot," Stormy told The Salem Statesman Journal. The patch will be worn by the deputies who work at the school. The county has a five-year contract with the school. Get the Story:
