My mother, not a Native American, taught Child Development in pre school and Kindergarten in a facility called Hintil in the Oakland Unified School District. It’s for Native American children. She had a few Navajo friends. Our families got along very well. We went to many pow wows and ceremonies and funerals. She died but I have some original art stone sculptures from a Navajo artist friend of hers. He was a child when his parents took him along to reclaim Alcatraz Island. All the Indians had family stories and plenty of history to share. I’m very glad to have lived that chapter of my life.
