It wasn't the tribal governments, or non-profits, it was the Dine', the Strong Hearts, that fed their neighbors, dug horses and donkeys out of the mud, and paddled in canoes to reach their families. It was the Dine', the Big Hearts, that rushed to the front after catastrophic flooding.

"I witnessed a true outpouring of K’é today," said Aneth, Utah Chapter Dr. Carma Claw, PhD. "Our Navajo families and neighbors showing up for one another. Thank you to every volunteer who worked tirelessly throughout the night and the day."
