Currently, she serves as President of the Morning Star Institute, a Native American rights organization. Growing up, Ms. Hargo lived in Italy for four years while her dad was stationed there in the Army. She worked in radio and theater in New York City for years. Ms. Hargo was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2014.
