TO THE EDITOR:
As less than 1 percent of the student population here at UNC, many times we may feel that we are not always represented or noticed on so large a campus.
However, on Monday night we were made well aware of the love that our UNC family and community have for the UNC Native population.
The death of our close friend Faith Danielle Hedgepeth brought us closer to every person on this campus and brought about a surge of volunteers to show their support, concern and love for Faith as well as her friends and family.
The Alpha Chapter of Alpha Pi Omega Sorority Inc. would like to say thank you to every person that helped in any way with the events on Monday.
Thank you to the people who helped put together ribbons in the American Indian Center.
Thank you to the Student Union and administration for their rapid response to our plea for a candlelight vigil.
Thank you to the American Indian Center staff who worked tirelessly all weekend to provide our chapter with the appropriate resources to make Monday night beautiful.
And though you are often overlooked, thank you to all media sources that have allowed the story of Faith to be known to the community and world.
