Growing up on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, Dawson Her Many Horses was rich in culture. But he and his family lacked many other critical resources.
“When I was a kid we had an outhouse, our home was heated by a wood-burning stove,” he told CNN. “I understand what it’s like to live in a rural community without financial resources.”
That connection has motivated Her Many Horses to advocate for Native American and Alaskan Native communities throughout his career in finance. He currently serves as head of Native American banking for Wells Fargo and in July the bank announced he would become a managing director.
