I hope you are having a great start to the summer! There are a couple of things I wanted to forward including an announcement for an upcoming event. Have a great summer and travel safely if you are going anywhere for the summer. Hope to see you soon!
ASU Commencement Video
Petra forwarded a recent video clip offered by her friend. It shows the group at the ASU commencement. It's a nice video of our performance. Group performance starts at about 3 minutes. Enjoy!

An unforgettable Diné History lesson! Thousands of Diné people; infants to elders, the sick and the weak, were forced to march hundreds of miles away from their sacred homelands to a Fort Sumner in Bosque Redondo, NM. Diné people were held captives for five years before the signing of the Treaty of 1868.
Long Walk Video
I recently found this on youtube, coincidentally while viewing the ASU video. It's a 10 part series regarding the Long Walk. It's a documentary that I did not hear of previously and if you have a chance, take a look at it. You will have to click on each part individually to continue viewing, it's not offered in one video so you will have to click on the next part. It has many interviews with historians, elders and community members discussing this traumatic event.
