Olivia Marie Longtree “Wasté Heḣaka Wiya” (Good Elk Woman), was called home in June 23, 2020. She was born on June 30, 1975 to Robert Longtree and Sherry (TurningBear) Longtree in Poplar, MT.
She grew up in Poplar where she attended elementary, middle and graduated high school from. Later she graduated from Flandreau Indian School in 1995.
Throughout life she made big impacts on the lives she touched, in return she made a lot of friends. When she wasn’t watching her little brother, she loved to draw, hand with friends, listen to music and drive around. She loved to jingle dress and hit the powwow trails.

Olivia:
Rest in Perfect Peace.
We had a nice visit a week or so ago. You were doing great when we were talking.
I believe the Angel’s of God came after you and gently walked you into heaven.
We will see you again.
