whose name in Navajo means Precious Jewel....YoNasDa has her Native American mother to credit for setting the standards to which she would follow. Highly involved in the American Indian Movement, YoNasDas mother who is Oglala-Lakota (Sioux) participated in The Longest Walk, which took place from February to July 1978. In protest to anti- Indian legislation, 3,000-mile trek began at San Francisco Bays Alcatraz Island and culminated on the White House grounds. YoNasDa was born there in Washington, D.C one of only two children born during this historic journey and a place that would later become for her a mecca of sorts.
YoNasDas mother decided to remain out East, settling in Virginia for a brief time. But the time was always brief for she was on the run. "From L.A. to Vegas, to Baltimore to Down South.everywhere. My mother couldnt take my father beating on her anymore, so we moved around a lot. My dad was a big-time hustler as well as a fine artist from Brooklyn, New York. He moved to the West Coast in Los Angeles where he met my mother in 1975 when she was working as a public relations director for Muhammad Ali.
After they got married thats when my mom started to find out about his lifestyle. And she got caught up into it because she loved him so much." With help of the Honorable Minister
Louis Farrakhan, YoNasDas mother- pregnant with her second child- moved to Arizona. "My fathers hustling skills led him to prison which created an aiding and abetting charge for my mother who stayed in the abusive marriage out of fear". While she served her time in a Fort Worth, Texas, prison,
Min.Farrakhan moved them to Chicago, adopting them into his family.YoNasDa adapted her Native American spirituality with Nation of Islam teachings, and her full name YoNasDa LoneWolf McCall-Muhammad- represents all aspects of her experiences. In 1998, YoNasDa returned to Arizona and to living with her mother.....YoNasDas mother died December 21, 2003 of small cell carcinoma lung cancer.
...She is currently the National Director for the Indigenous Nations Alliance-Millions More Movement. She has a weekly column in the international newspaper called
official Nation of Islam paper The Final Call. and a campaign she developed called Bridging the Families-Starting a Movement. "It's great! Within a month I was able to gather 200 Native Americans to join people from all various backgrounds for the 10th Anniversary of the Million Man March. I have taken Martin Luther King III to Native American communities on his tour against poverty. As well as arranged for a historic event of the Hon. Minister Louis Farrakhan to speak to the Navajo Nation Tribal C council. I love it"! She has finished a book called, Enjoy the Moments, which is a book of her poetry and writings. This is also in honor of her mother.
