Each and every indigenous human being who's lost their life at the hands of western civilization; the weighted down burro trying to make its way out of the Grand Canyon; the single mom with 3 kids working 4 jobs to make ends meet; those living on the fringes; societal drop-outs. But my ultimate heroes are the strong indigenous women and warrior men who dedicate themselves to the strenthening and empowering of indigenous people everywhere.
