Beaten, broken, and nearly gone — Trish survived 33 years of addiction and violence, and is now finding healing in her culture, her children, and her own power.

Trish's story is one of deep trauma, family violence, addiction, and survival. From hiding in closets during violent outbursts as a child, to discovering her biological father through a birth certificate, to losing her cousin Neil Stonechild in the notorious “Starlight Tour,” her pain ran deep. She survived brutal domestic abuse, was found unconscious in a bathtub by her daughter, and nearly ended her life — but was saved by the love of her father.
Now in recovery, Trish is rebuilding her life, dancing at powwows, homeschooling her children, and creating her own regalia-making business. She’s learning to live — not just survive — and honoring the man who never stopped believing in her.
