Lori Goodman

Anna Frazier

In case you missed it earlier today:

Today, founding board members described how Dine' CARE was created out of the threats to their Dineh homelands in the late 1980s. Lori Goodman shared the beginning days, and Anna Frazier of Dilkon, an educator, described why she became involved. Sam Shepherd of Eastern Agency spoke on being held in boarding school and running away. Adella Begaye, Dine' CARE president and founding board member, spoke on how as a nurse in Tsaile, she became involved. Adella is the wife of the late Leroy Jackson, cofounder, found dead after halting the old growth logging in the Chuska and Tsaile Mountains. Ofelia Rivas, O'odham living on the border, described her peoples struggles. Earl Tulley, cofounder, shared how Dine' CARE began the movement of environmental justice, which grew into many movements, evolving eventually into the Indigenous Environmental Movement and others.

Yá’át’ééh! This year marks Diné CARE’s 30th anniversary! Since 1988 we’ve been working hard to protect the health of Diné lands and people; prevent resource exploitation projects that harm us; and promote wise, sustainable, and culturally sound community development in tune with Diné values. We are committed to Indigenous organizing strategies that develop healthy, safe and economically sustainable communities. 

This June, we will be hosting: The People’s Conventions: Working Together for the Health of the Land and People. There will be two conventions- a western agency and eastern agency convention- that will be made up of workshops, presentations and activities designed to strengthen Diné community advocacy, awareness, networking and action. You are invited to participate in either or both events.
