| Description: |
I was born on Black Mesa, south of Kayenta--Black Mesa, Arizona, in 1954. I was born there. Actually, my mother was going to pick up wood, so I was actually born at a wood pile, I wasn't born in the hospital.
I was Bit’ahnii Clan. Most of the people here at Oljato are the of the Bit’ahnii Clan, so even though I wasn't born and raised here, I came back to my Bit’ahnii upbringing, I guess, so to speak. And I was born for To’ahani, and my maternal grandfather is Ashee-he [phonetic spelling] and my paternal grandfather is _______.
