Shandiin Biiliilitso

Hello, my name is Shandiin Biiliilitso. I am from the Navajo Nation, my family comes from Blue steel mountain, Wide ruins Arizona. My parents are Susie Jensen and Jorge Lechuga. My maternal grandparents are the late Thurston Jensen and Nona Yellowhorse. My paternal grandparents are the late Mary Parra and George Lechuga. I am the great granddaughter of Joe Yellowhorse. I was raised in the Los Angeles area and grew up in the Native Community in Los Angeles. My family powwow dances and sings, and I’m grateful for the opportunities this has given me throughout the years. One of my passions is cultural preservation, and passing along teachings to my children, nieces, nephews, and new generation. Giving back to the community has been a great joy and opportunity. I am pleased to serve as the Community Health Worker Supervisor, and address community needs.
