A Voice for those who cannot speak
I felt this was a very important interview. This subject was personally heart breaking and difficult for me. As I lost my sister to murder in 1968. Lily Mendoza has a true heart for those that need help. Enrolled in the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe she grew up with the Lakota Value of generosity. She is a warrior woman and a voice for those who can no longer speak.
