Support Statement for Marsha Monestersky

Dear The Hon. Eldridge Coochise,

I wish to affirm that I fully support Marsha Monestersky and want to ensure
her continued ability to serve as legal assistant on Hopi Partition Lands
(HPL).

During the several years I have known her, I have found her to be of great
benefit to me and my people. Since I am not schooled well in the English
language, I rely on her expertise, which I know to be strong and of great
benefit to me and my people. Marsha Monestersky is well educated, able to
communicate with non English speaking people. She demonstrates a
comprehensive knowledge of US governmental laws and international human
rights norms and standards and has taught us we have rights.

Marsha Monestersky is a true friend to me and my people. I support her 100%.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

 

Norris Nez
