Episode Four
Dylan McCabe had to recieve permission from her school to wear her traditional clothing to her graduation and was partially approved. Her dress was accepted because it wouldn't be seen, but her moccasins and wrappings were not. Dylan argued her point and eventually created a petition on Change.org while also communicating with local news. This resulted in the school changing their stance and approving the moccasins.
