Around this time last year, prior to a trip to Nevada from Oregon my father told me about you. This lead to hours and hours of research and reading about your life and the legacy you left. Your bravery and dedication to justice and the safety of your people will never be forgotten. I promise to share your story with my children and let your memory live on. I am deeply honored to have you as an ancestor. Thank you for all that you have done.

With Love.
