#OfeliaRivas, Tohono O'odham, speaks with #FirstVoicesRadio host #TiokasinGhosthorse, Lakota.

"Ofelia describes how the U.S. #BorderPatrol murdered her friend #RaymondMattia, #TohonoOodham,
at his home on the Tohono O'odham Nation.

"Ofelia shares how Ray's father was her spiritual mentor and taught her about O'odham ceremonies.

"'Raymond is my ceremony brother, and I have a lot of respect for him.'

"Ofelia describes the moments leading up to Ray's murder when about 25 U.S. Border Patrol trucks arrived. After murdering Raymond, Ofelia could hear the U.S. Border Patrol agents laughing about murdering him. The gunfire included two shots from the back, and U.S. Border Patrol agents bashed in Raymond's body after he was shot and dying."
