Her father had served as the tribal chairman of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation.[2] She attended the University of Tulsa, where first she met John Trudell.[3]
She was killed, along with her unborn baby (Josiah Hawk), three other children–Ricarda Star, Sunshine Karma, and Eli Changing Sun–and her mother in a suspicious fire on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation[2] in northern Nevada on 12 February 1979. Her father survived the fire but was badly burned.[2]
The fire took place less than 12 hours after John Trudell had delivered a speech in front of FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, during which he burned a United States flag.
