A Reunion — Across Time 

When Alex Gambacorta left the Apsáalooke Reservation in Montana, she thought she was closing a chapter on the special place she’d served for a year. But back at Marquette, pieces of Apsáalooke history were waiting to be discovered — and a new journey with the tribe was about to begin.
