Congratulations to Deborah Ann Begay<\/strong> (\u201910) for her election to Moon Valley Justice of the Peace. She focused her campaign on restorative justice and community values \u2013 k’e \u2013 which means kinship in her tribe\u2019s language and she believes can be viewed as effective action and solidarity. \u201cIf we truly believe in justice for all, then we must take a holistic approach,\u201d said Begay. \u201cWe need this in our judicial system. It is time for more love, compassion, kindness, friendliness, generosity and peacefulness within our judicial systems.\u201d

Begay is a member of the Din\u00e9 (Navajo) Nation. She is Mexican clan born for the Towering House clan. Her paternal clan is Mountain Cove and her maternal clan is the Bitter Water. She is a proud veteran who served in the U.S. Naval Reserves and will celebrate her 15-year anniversary this summer.

Begay attributes her campaign efforts to her experiences as an ILP student. \u201cThe ILP helped shape my vision for community, what it is and what it can be,\u201d Begay said. \u201cDuring law school, I was selected to work on the Navajo Peacemaker\u2019s Manual. That experience changed the way I view justice and became part of my restorative justice platform. The other really important aspect of being an ILP student is the aspect of family. The ILP alumni network was a major source of my campaign funding. They contributed thousands of dollars to my campaign.\u201d Begay expressed her gratitude to her mother and everyone involved, adding, \u201cMy win is a win for Native America.\u201d

Her personal message to students: \u201cStay true to your vision. My goal has always been to serve my community. I did not know what that would look like when I graduated law school. Welcome those experiences that develop your character. Invest in your ILP colleagues because they will become valuable resources for all kinds of good stuff as you each take different career paths.\u201d

We are very proud of you, Deborah.
