Dorothy L. Wesaw entered into life on March 31, 1951. She started her journey to the Creator's land October 6, 2022. Dorothy is survived by her children; Elmer (EJ) Natseway and Natum Bevins (Wesaw). She is further survived by her siblings; Leroy T. Wesaw and Colin R. Wesaw , and her grandchildren Cody, Sara, Dakota and Preston. Dorothy also had the joy of 9 great-grandchildren and a large extended family of cousins and friends. Dorothy was an advocate for social and cultural justice with more than just a desire to do good. She lived her life by doing good for others. Dorothy made wonderful relationships with deep connections wherever she went. Her genuine love for life and others naturally drew people to her. The beautiful memories she created will forever be cherished. The family extends a heartfelt thank you for all of the love and support received. A bird flew by and landed in a tree, I listened as he sang his sad song to me. He sang of better days and sang of different times. Of an unsullied world untouched by men’s crimes. Litter and refuse now found in his nest, he told me though, natural things were best. Bits of straw and pieces of grass, our Mother Earth did provide. Pollution, waste and garbage now those natural things hide. So I left the ruined woods to seek peace by a stream. Warmed by the sun’s ray, I started to dream. Then a fish floated by, belly up to the sun. The last of Her kind from the great salmon run. Plastic bags wrapped around her once strong tail fin, brought tears to my eyes to see her tragic end. Then I woke with a start and sat up in my bed, I must do something soon, or these friends will be dead. - Happy Jack
