On October 11, Alyssa passed her title over to Shasta Dazen, of the White Mountain Apache Tribe. Alyssa was the 52nd Miss Indian Arizona, and the first from Ak-Chin to hold the title. In her parting speech, Alyssa said, while she may be the first from AkChin, she certainly won’t be the last. Celebration of Native American Heritage Day Celebration.
