ife experiences. Having been born on the Navajo Indian Reservation, I understand the hardships the people have to endure to survive in a third-world environment in the United States.

At age six, I attended a boarding school run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. I was then taken in by a white Christian foster family at age nine, attending predominantly white schools. I had to make mental adjustments between two ways of life. During this time, I received paranormal experiences that aided me in coping with the challenges with which I was confronted. As an adult, I have had ongoing extraordinary experiences such as when I participated in the Opening Ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Looking back through my life experiences, I have realized that we are all half-breeds, half human beings and half spiritual beings. I summarize these experiences in my writing and acknowledge that we are connected to all things earthly and heavenly. We are creators of our own environments, good or bad. We must strive to create harmony in all things, beginning with ourselves.
