Abstract:
Pima-Maricopa Remembrances – God’s Plan For Me is the personal experiences of the author in her twenty-five year tenure on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, first as a volunteer and then under tribal jurisdiction. All the stories are true – some happy, some sad, some funny, some historical and many spiritual. They include the opening of Helping Hands, a tribal thrift store and spearheading the building of Friendship Park – a community park-playground. The stories were written to preserve her inter actions, as an Anglo, with the Native American and to encourage others to look outside ones self, explore and undertake what seems impossible.
