Red Feather has expanded its family of staff this new year by welcoming Victor Lee Masayesva as the Community Coordinator. Victor first worked with Red Feather through the Indigenous Builders Exchange, when he traveled from Hopi to
Northern Cheyenne to help build the Roundstone’s home in June of 2006. With his warm heart and a willingness to share his perspectives, he touched those around him and enriched the volunteer community. He also demonstrated a humble and tireless work ethic which was an inspiration to those working by his side.
When Red Feather traveled to Hopi in September, Victor was a huge help in setting up speakers and local contacts for the staff and volunteers which deepened the connections between the volunteers and the local community. When he had time off from a busy work schedule at the Hopi Cultural Center, he could always be found pitching in with the construction of the Shebola home.
Victor will be an invaluable asset to Red Feather’s work in Hopi. He will be a local resource for the families that are working towards home ownership and be able to greatly assist the Bozeman based staff by being on the ground and offering his insight into life on the Hopi reservation. We’re all excited to have him aboard.

Its nice to know that some things never change!!! I went to high school with Victor and it was his work ethic and kind heart that made him a great asset to our school. It was refreshing to read about your organization and see a classmate doing great and helping other people. I commend you and your organization for the work you are doing to help our fellow man.
