"Last month, the American Indian Scouting Association bestowed its highest award on [Lydia] Gonzales, the coveted Francis X. Guardipee Grey Wolf Award, during its annual gathering in Laramie, Wyo. The award is presented to American Indian or non-Indian adults for their work with American Indian youths.
