Ione "Tiny" Moon

Sorry to hear about Tiny's passing my sincere condolences goe's out to the Moon family, and all of the extended family, I know that she was definatelty one of a kind, and the Tribal Office and day to day politics of the Hoopa Tribe will not be the same without her fighting for her family, friends, and her Hoopa people and for the the place that she loved dearly right up to the day that she left us The Beautiful Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation!

Tiny my friend i will miss you for the rest of my days i will miss your mornning vist to the store, you were sure one of a kind in a great way. i will always rember the day it was raining so hard you would be wet in a few minunte, you were walking your horse home from the big brige i ask you if you would like a ride home and we would lead the horse from the window of the car you said no i will cut across here and it's just a little ways from there it was a little more than a would like to...

Tiny will be missed, she was the most real,amazing woman that i had the pleasure of knowing, in my life.

I am so sry to hear about your loss, Joe Moon I just heard and if you ever need to talk I'm still here for you. Hang in there Joe and don't be riding your quad at night your mom wouldn't have liked that she never did. Your mom was a great woman and who showed me tough love more than once.
Your Sweetheart Forever

Tiny was one-of-a-kind…never afraid to speak her mind, fiercely protective of her family and she always had Joe’s back and I have never seen a woman who worked so hard. The funniest thing I ever saw was her arrival to meet BIA Superintendent Norman Tippeconnic on his first day at work in Hoopa. After she left Norman immediately walked red-faced and flustered over to the old Tribal Office across from the High School to ask “Just who is this Tina Moon?” I sometimes reminded her of that day...

My heart is very sad for you all. Ione was great woman. And she touched everyones lives, even mine so many years ago. She will be forever remembered. Charlotte LeVaugh aka "Heavy"
