1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz:
Joining me in the studio today
is MaDonna Feather Cruz who is a
distinguished Native American
woman living with disabilities
proud advocate for Native
wellness, raising awareness
about the critical issue of
Missing and Murdered Indigenous
Women (MMIW), and cultural

"Every human being is a
raindrop. And when enough of the
raindrops become clear and
coherent, they then become the
power of the storm." John Trudel
(1946-2015)
Tonight, Monday, the National Organization for Women SOCO Chapter in collaboration with Women’s Spaces will present a Zoom tonight at 6 pm. Marianne Williamsons basic belief is “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” Marianne Williamson is a political activist, author, non-denominational spiritual lecturer, and New York Times bestselling author. She also was a Democratic candidate for President in 2020 and is putting her hat in the ring again for the 2024 Presidential Election. She is so inspiring; you do not want to miss this presentation. [This is a past event as the web page goes up, and you can view the video of the zoom event at the NOW Sonoma County Youtube Channel.] ---- 2. Our Guest, Madonna Feather Cruz shares her remarkable journey from childhood memories of serving sandwiches to Dennis Banks and to her Uncle Russell Means during American Indian Movement (AIM) meetings at her family’s home in Round Valley Tribes Reservation in California. She was born after the AIM occupation of Alcatraz in November 1969, but remembers as a little girl attending the annual Indian Thanksgiving Memorial Sunrise Ceremonies at Alcatraz on Thanksgiving Day. She received guidance from her parents, aunties and uncles, which motivates her to thank Creator and her ancestors that she is here, and as she says, "We are not hiding anymore!" Madonna will attend this Thanksgiving Sunrise Ceremony at Alcatraz. See Announcements below for the poster of the ceremony. Madonna does advocacy work for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). Because of the difference in reservation jurisdiction and the States’ jurisdiction, the MMIW incidences are often under reported because of the red tape of the various bureaucracies. Madonna was instrumental in moving the school board in Sonoma County to allow indigenous high school graduates to attend the graduation ceremony in their native regalia. Her daughter wore an Aztec dress in honor of her father of Mexican heritage.
Madonna is working on restoring
the Indian Museum in Roseland in
Santa Rosa, California.
