Their daughter, Isabella Madrigal (Cahuilla/Chippewa), recently
wrote, directed, and produced a play performed at Dorothy Ramon Learning
Center, "Menil and her Heart," which explores the healing powers of
Native American stories.
The play earned 16-year-old Isabella her gold level in Girl Scouts, the highest achievement level. She and her sister, Sophia, 15, have won a $5,000 grant from Dragon Kim Foundation to continue the work in cultural revitalization through Native storytelling.
