The Journey of Rediscovery

Amy Dennett Dale shares her profound journey of rediscovering her Indigenous identity after being separated from her culture. Growing up in the Midwest due to the Indian relocation program of the 1960s, she felt displaced and lacked a connection to her Diné roots. Despite enjoying a loving upbringing, Amy yearned to understand her heritage, often relying on limited resources like National Geographic for insights into her culture. Her eventual return to New Mexico in 2019 marked a significant transition, where she embraced her responsibilities as a matriarch and sought ways to give back to her community through entrepreneurship.
