Diisholla!! (Hello) My name is Isabella Yellowtail. My Indian names are “Outstanding Prayers” and “Her horse is always in the Lead” My clans are Ties-The-Bundle and I am a child of the Greasy Mouth. 

I am your 2026 Miss Sheridan WYO Rodeo Queen! 

It is my pleasure to be your Queen and represent you all over the great state of Wyoming! 

I grew up on the Crow Reservation. I am a 5th generation rancher residing at the foot of the Big Horns. My mother and father, Carson and Mamie Yellowtail, raised me in the western way of life while instilling my Native traditions, which is the way I have carried myself throughout life.

So far I have carried 4 crowns, 2019 Jr. Crow Fair Rodeo Queen, 2021 Miss Crow Fair Rodeo Queen, 2023 Sheridan WYO Rodeo Sr. Princess and finally 2026 Miss Sheridan WYO Rodeo. Through these titles, I have learned many things; God has your back always, Grit will carry you through any storm you face and having Grace will always be the better choice. Which is why my motto is God, Grit and Grace. My favorite Scripture is Job 39:19-24. As it reminds me of my Horse Cricket, who’s carried me through two of my four titles now! 

“Have you given the horse his might? Have you clothed his neck with quivering and a shaking mane? Have you made him leap like a locust? The majesty of his snorting is terrible. He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the weapons. He laughs at fear and is not dismayed, and he does not turn back from the sword. The quiver rattles against him, the flashing spear and the lance with fierceness and rage he races to devour the ground and does not stand still at the trumpet sound.” 

Cricket and I have been the best of partners through all of this. 

When I am not under crown or at rodeos you will find me dancing traditionally at powwows, beading, riding bareback in the back hills of my pastures or spending time with family! 

Currently I am the 2nd Queen to be crowned out of the crow reservation! With a 75 Year difference! Lucy Yellowmule, my relative, was the first! 

Thank you for listening to my story! I hope to see you all again! 

God bless and have a wonderful year! 

Isabella Yellowtail, 

‘26 Miss Sheridan WYO Rodeo
