Cherokee’s Miss Native American USA On Mission To Improve Dental Hygiene On Reservations

The Eastern Band of Cherokee tribe and the reservation’s surroundings in Western North Carolina are known for mountain beauty, rich culture, and history.

Of course, it’s also home to North Carolina’s only casino.

And it’s home to Miss Native American USA. Her name is Kristina Hyatt, and she’s a dental hygienist who in the last year has visited reservations to promote dental care.
