The Honorable Judge Sunshine Sykes is the first Native American to be appointed as a Superior Court  Judge in Riverside County.  She subsequently got elected to that office.  That is quite a feat for someone raised on a Navajo Reservation.   She fortunately had a family of strong women to support her.  Judge Sykes gave a very inspiring speech to a large and totally attentive audience on Friday, February 12 at the Mayor’s Ceremonial Room in City Hall.
