I did not know Ada very well but we certainly knew of one another.
She was a touch point for me to my Aunt Jo, and like her, was a force to be reckoned with. I am grateful for the many that have come before me who first prayed and then worked for improvement in the lives of Native People - I feel I am living their dream today even as I pray for continued improvement for all human beings here in this realm at this time.

God bless -
