I wasn't even registered to vote until I was in my fifties. All these years I've been really hesitant about it. I would sit and complain like everybody else and finally I told myself, why am I sitting here complaining when my vote could have counted. And, you know, maybe my one vote would have helped. So I decided to do something about it and it wasn't until 10 years ago that I finally registered to vote. I went to work helping others get registered too. I like visiting communities and talking to them about what’s going on while also stressing the importance of voting and being involved in community. Plus, I get to encourage younger Hopis. We need to build up more leaders, especially at the state and national levels.

“I am hopeful and encourage my community members to keep an open-mind, to be kind, and to look to the future because that’s where we need to be. I do this work because of my kids and grandkids and to make our communities better. So we really need to be out there and be heard, not just to be seen, but be heard.”
