Date: 2018-10-08

This is PART ONE OF TWO... in a collection of photos, words & video clips for Grandmother/ Elder Tessie Williams..,  who is a 
Nez Perce/Cayuse Elder & Leader.., as well as many other roles.. in the traditional and spiritual realms... of her People.

There is also a PART TWO video.., with some VERY important teachings for the Seventh Generation.. and the Peoples of the world in general.., as Grandmother Tessie (in my opinion) deserves kudos from all the Psychologists and Psychiatrists in the world...,
..for her knowledge of people.., abuse.., relationships.. & healing.

-----------

For almost 22 years,Grandmother/Elder Tessie Williams  has been a Community Health Representative for the ConfederatedTribes of Umatilla Indians.   In this capacity, she has helped countless Native Americans..find the health resources, they need.

Grandmother Tessie, herself, is a member of the Umatilla Tribe,
and was born December 14th 1931, with her mother being Cayuse.. 
and her father being Nez Perce.

Raised by her grandparents, she was well versed in Indian traditions and history early in life, ..as were her two brothers.

Grandmother Tessie has always tried to: "Teach my family, 
involve my family, first and then reach out to other families."

“In order to be Helpers & Healers..,
we have to heal ourselves.., first.”
