Hope and dream
To my people of Warm Springs
and all nations,
The loss of my daughter,
Cindy Lou Brightstar Sohappy
(Gilbert) has been a tragedy for
my children and myself. My
daughter was a young girl who
had her hopes and dreams for
her future.
She had the courage, strength
and perseverance for her edu
cation. She was in high school
and had only three credits to go.
She was determined to gradu
ate with her class, so she worked
very hard to reach her grade
point level. With her determina
tion and desires she had reached
beyond her goals and needed
only three credits to graduate.
She was a junior at the
Chemawa Indian School. She
told me that sha wanted to go
back to Madras High School
her senior year, rejoin the
ROTC program and graduate
with her friends from home -Warm
Springs and Madras.
She also wanted to do so
many things with her life. She
had a vision and a goal to travel
and go places like Hawaii, Paris,
Germany, Alaska, Canada, New
York, the U.S. Capital Building,
many other places.
She knew and loved God
since she was a child, and even
now as she is sleeping.
Her joy, laughter, love and
strength are missed greatly by
many others, even adults. She
loved people and never was
afraid to share her friendship,
hope, encouragement, joy and
laughter.
Now the message I am send
ing to all my people and all na
tions is this:
Alcohol is a disease and with
this are many paths that lead to
destruction.
My daughter had given her
self to AANA. She relapsed,
which took her life. She recog
nized she needed help, so she
went and signed herself into an
'AANA program. Also, she.
signed herself into individual
counseling.
I have told my daughter I was
proud of her for reaching out
for help.
Being a single mom for a
long time had been difficult at
times, My children and I, we had
each other.
This is a burning desire for
myself and my daughters, and
more so for my people of all
nations, for the youth, young
children, middle aged, elders
who struggle with an addiction.
My desire is to begin a plan
for an ranch for alcohol and
drug dependency. Also, a rescue
shelter for families, single
people, homeless people in need
of help.
In order to have my desire
become a reality I would need
land, approval from my tribal
leaders, workers from many dif
ferent nations of people who
work in the field of AANA.
There would be domesticated
animals such as horses, goats,
chickens, turkeys, etc.
So my desire is to honor my
daughter by reaching out to oth
ers who need support, recovery,
goals. fijr their livesL - ; f , i
Please help make this burn
ing desire become real.
Cindy Sohappy
