Moore serves as chair of the tribe's cultural committee. She is one of nine honorees this year.

"Ardina has a very deep commitment to the young people in our state, and not only to the youth of Indian country. Ardina rose as a strong woman and leader in her community," Chairman John Berrey said in a press release. "She understood that it was her responsibility as a Quapaw woman and as a teacher and as an Oklahoman to ensure that Quapaw and all children grow up with knowledge of their heritage."
