Cheyenne Eete Susan Kippenberger, 23, is a member of the Seminole Tribe of Florida and her hometown is the Hollywood Reservation in Hollywood, Florida. She is the daughter of Joe and Susan Kippenberger, the Granddaughter of Lawanna Osceola and her family is of the Panther Clan. Her Indian name “Eete” was bestowed upon her by her Grandma Lawanna. Community oriented Cheyenne looks for ways to support her community as well as sustain Seminole culture. She is the proud Chairwoman of “Healing The Circle in Our Tribal Communities Symposium” of the Native Learning Center organization and she likes to uphold Tribal teachings by practicing her skills at sewing traditional patchwork and participating in language classes with an elder from her reservation. With her free time, she tries her hand at crafting palmetto dolls and beading on a loom. Cheyenne stays healthy physically and mentally through running, yoga, and reading. Having been strongly inspired by Congresswomen Sharice Davids and Deb Halaand, Cheyenne, who earned an Associate Degree in Accounting from Keiser University, will continue her education by pursuing an additional degree in Political Science. Additionally, she is a former Miss Florida Seminole and uniquely, the first Seminole woman to hold the prestigious title of Miss Indian World in the program’s 36-year history. As your 2019-2020 Miss Indian World, Cheyenne will strive to bring awareness to the strength and resilience of Native American and Indigenous Peoples, help to destigmatize mental health and put forth efforts in gaining quality representation in the media for Native American & Indigenous people globally.
