[SPEAKING DINÉ]
Thank you and good evening.
I'm really honored that you are all here this evening.
I'm grateful for your support of the work that I am doing.
And in doing so, you honor my family--
my mother, my parents, and my grandparents,
and my clan relatives in my home community, and fellow Navajo,
fellow Diné people.
So I'm really grateful for you, for your presence tonight,
and the honor of being able to speak to you.
I want to thank the students here--
we had such a nice evening together--
and Dr Evers and Dr. Lee and the University, of course.
