Evangelista was my Grandmother's birth name. She was born in the Taos Pueblo and taken to the Indian school in our state after her mother died on the Reservation of TB. They changed her name to Helen at the school. I try to honor her by borrowing the name she was taught to be ashamed of, as a respectful rememberance of her heritage. I miss her very much.
