Slowly getting there. Here's an update of the watermelon painting. Slowly getting all the details.
I learned about the important work of Bernadine Beyale ’05 and her nonprofit organization 4Corners K-9 Search and Rescue from the “Stolen” podcast about Ella Mae Begay on Spotify. The community and families of the MMIR take matters into their own hands because the so-called government and law enforcement fails them.

Desperate for answers, many communities, including the Native American tribal communities in the Southwest, need as much help as possible when searching for a missing loved one. In March 2022, Bernadine Beyale ’05 officially started the nonprofit organization 4Corners K-9 Search and Rescue. Beyale and her team of K-9s have conducted more than 60 searches for missing people in New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Utah.

I’m reaching out to rally support for families affected by the devastating Watch Fire in San Carlos, Arizona. This community is close to my heart, and I’ve set up GoFundMe Links in my Linktree to provide immediate assistance. You can find the links in my Linktree, where I’ve also shared photos of their banking information for transparency.
Our tribe has also organized a wire transfer option through BMO, and I will provide screenshots and detailed tribal information upon request.
Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in supporting these families during this challenging time. Let’s come together to provide essential funds for their personal needs. Your generosity and support are deeply appreciated.
Thank you for helping my people , my community, spreading the word and making a meaningful impact. ♥️

Updates we received from folks on the ground:
“About 4 families want to go home to start sorting and cleaning their property and wish to live in canvas tents, cuz they have no gas money to go to/from motel 6 to SC to eat and attend meetings. So if you can help get word out they want gas cards, phone cards, battery fans, battery/solar lights, propane small stove, etc. Plus yard cleaning tools and money to pay for large dumpsters to be hauled to their property.”
I am collecting information on how to donate cash directly to the families. If you were interested in the information, let me know.”
From a volunteer at donation center:
“I don’t see that they may also need:
Laundry soap
Downy or softener
Dryer sheets
Bar soap
Tooth paste
Hair brushes
Body wash
Shampoo
Qtips
Wipes
Blankets
Towels
Hair ties
Rubber bands
Contact solution
Dish liquid
Hand soap
Laundry baskets
Suitcases
Curtains
Beds
Some type of furniture
there’s tons of clothes... just sharing this as I don’t see much of this here.
Thank you”

Spent the afternoon yesterday with Shi Tsoi Dr. Jennifer Denetdale dóó Shi Che’e Sheila Goldtooth at the “Nothing Left For Me: Federal Policy and the Photography of Milton Snow in Diné Bikéyah” exhibition. I encourage Diné relatives to see the exhibit. A lot of emotions filled my heart as I read the lived experiences by many of our people who were directly impacted by the violence from the livestock reduction as it continues today. My memories were of relatives who band together, strengthened kinships and helped one another. Colonization is a monster and its goal through its ongoing projects is and always will be to dismantle K’é to the land, our non-human relatives and among our people, in the name of capitalism, racism and patriarchy.
On Wednesday, June 10th there will be an online forum with an AMAZING panelist of relatives who will speak about the livestock reduction (see flier for details). Looking forward to listening and learning from nihi k’ei nízhoní. Online event is organized by Shi Tsoi Dr. Jennifer Denetdale (Diné Historian) dóó Lillia McEnaney. Hosted by K'É Infoshop.
