Kasabien, Noodin

Some subjects are still too raw for Alexandra to speak of, and so I return to the archives, again and again. Research in systems archives provided me with access to the data of Noodin Kasabien, including his heartfelt message to his daughter after the Foundation announced our presence to the surface world.

In the beginning, Alexandra didn’t feel ready to lead, all she felt able to do was listen.

Noodin Kasabien invited Kevin to go fishing and then invited himself to our home for dinner that night.

Noodin Kasabien was proud of his heritage as a member of an Indigenous tribe but, like many others, was raised in poverty and held in disdain by those who immigrated from across the ocean.

I met Noodin Kasabien a day after Ally and I moved into NAHE. We became friends and then family.

Ally’s “Pagan Thanksgiving,” where everything had to be on the table if we wanted to eat it through the following year, seemed an appropriate place for a few fish. Noodin and I made it a point to go out onto the lake the morning of, and after a while, other people decided to go with us. Yes, we co-opted it to the extent that the name changed to reflect the fish we caught and ate.
