ELEANOR DUPREE

I am employed as Secretary to the Education Line Officer at Cheyenne River Agency in Eagle Butte, South Dakota for 8+ years.  My career as a Secretary began in 1975 and it has been a learning and growing experience as technology became a big part of our world.  In order to keep up with progress, I received my Associates degree in Office Systems from Northern State University.  I enjoy my job very much because of the various responsibilities and duties involved, encountering challenging situations and meeting different people but mainly having a supportive and caring supervisor and also some wonderful co-workers.  I am a strong believer in education and am proud to be a team member at the Cheyenne River Agency Education Line Office under the competent direction of Dr. Cherie Farlee.  Some of the critical elements in my position include: receptionist, administrative support tasks, timekeeping, records management, processing Tort Claims and accident/injury reports.   Recently I have been designated Federal Tort Claim Coordinator for the Agency Education office.

I am the proud mother of three grown sons, Dustin;  Doug, Jr.; and Dan and grandmother of three granddaughters and one grandson.  My family and I are enrolled members of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in South Dakota.  We were born and raised on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation and are lifelong residents.

My hobbies are reading romance and mystery novels; spending quality time with my family; shopping for my grandchildren; going to pow-wows; visiting with friends and watching news shows on TV.

Many people call me "Ellie" and I prefer that over my given name.
