Truly speechless for the honor of winning preliminary Red Carpet for Group 2 ✨ •• Huge shoutout to @thepageantshop and all of Sarah’s help in picking a gown. Honestly, when I saw the dress on the hanger I wasn’t too sure about it. But once I put it on my whole perspective changed. I LOVE IT! Fun fact, I added the rhinestones myself about 2 days before checking for Miss Minnesota 🙈 it worked out in the end! •• I’ve been walking in gowns and stages for many years and this was by far the most special moments I’ve had as a competitor

Hello, my relatives! I greet you with a happy heart and welcome you to my corner of the world. My name is Rachel Lane Evangelisto, and I’m an enrolled member of the Standing Rock Nation. I’m a proud Lakota woman and am competing to become the first-ever Native American Miss Minnesota this June! 

Get to know more about me, my journey, message, and culture below.

What a wonderful way to end a fantastic few months. I can't believe that my time as Miss Winona is coming to an end in just two weeks. Thank you to the Steamboat Days committee for the opportunity to be a part of the Eleva parade this year, it was a blast!
