Thank you so much, Su:k.
So our final reader tonight is Amber Lee Ortega.
Amber is a member of the Tohono O'odham Nation
and a descendant of Hia Ced O'odham.
A spoken word poet, photographer,
and student of the Sonoran desert, Amber's work
reflects the loss, struggle, and effort
to reconnect with the lands sacred
to Hia Ced O'odham and the issues concerning
the loss of life.
What remains from colonization of O'odham jeved
are sounds, memories, and the speaking silent moments.
Please welcome Amber Lee Ortega.
