INFR在其使命声明中承认教育的重要性，并提供许多专门用于高等教育的奖学金。该组织对青少年选手非常严格，诺亚必须提交他的中期成绩单以证明所有课程都合格。通过强调对年轻选手教育的重视，有助于激励他们在学校取得成功，并寻求INFR提供的可能未来机会。牛仔运动在原住民文化中有着深厚的根基，INFR通过举办各个年龄段选手的比赛，促进了与这一传统的代际联系。

牛仔比赛帮助Noah与他的文化和学习联系在一起。学校和社区对Noah感到非常自豪，并将在他继续参加全年的牛仔比赛中为他加油。

Forest Lawn High School student Noah Wings (Wolf) is a rodeo star! Noah went to Las Vegas, NV from Nov. 8 -12 to compete in the 41st annual Indian National Finals Rodeo (INFR). Noah is from the Blood Reserve and has been competing in rodeos for just over three years. His final average in Las Vegas was 145 points, just 72 points shy of the World Champion. Noah is currently ranked third in the world in the Junior Bulls division.

The INFR recognizes the importance of education in their mission statement and offers many scholarships for post-secondary education. The organization is also very strict with the junior competitors and Noah had to submit his mid-term report card to demonstrate passing grades in all classes. In stressing the importance of education to young competitors it helps motivate them to be successful in school and look to the possible future opportunities provided by the INFR. Rodeo has deep roots in the Aboriginal culture and the INFR promotes a generational connection to this tradition by hosting events for competitors from 8 to 80.

The sport of rodeo helps Noah to connect to his culture and to his learning. The school and community are so proud of Noah and will be rooting for him as he continues to compete in rodeos throughout the year.
