From the story: “Prayer, Justice, and Remembrance: Diné Woman Reclaims the Past As She Walks to Bring Her Missing Aunt Home”
A year after her auntie went missing, Seraphine Warren readied herself to take the first steps on an 1,800-mile walk to Washington, D.C.
It was 2:30 in the morning — the same time her aunt Ella Mae Begay had disappeared a year earlier. Warren, a 41-year-old Diné mother and ironworker, had packed a bag and told her boss she wasn’t coming back until her aunt was found. She carried with her photos of her aunt, a ribbon skirt and one of Begay’s weaved rugs with her.
