Ice cream eatin' with Uncle Andres

I like this uncle cause he lets me eat with my hands - it tastes better that way...I was so excited to surprise Andres on his birthday, showing up at his doorstep at 11:30pm when he thought I was still in NM! Daddy called from his cell phone and told Andres to come out to the front porch to see if a package had come for his birthday, and Andres opened the front door to see Shannon and Nizhoni smiling big!

Two Activists - one baby, one adult

Here I am witha fellow party-crasher at the 2009 Native Philanthropy conference. She is an incredible woman, an activist for social justice and former vice-presidential candidate named Winona LaDuke. She invited me to come sit with her, and I crawled over, chatted for a bit about Indigenous land rights and civil rights struggles, and then posed for the paparatzi (e.g. mommy and daddy)

Sleeping with Auntie Anna

I know Anna drove 2 hours just to see me, so I thought I would "honor" her by falling fast asleep.
