Support Stone Cabin Clinic's Return & New Roof

We are excited to announce that the Stone Cabin Clinic is back at it after a 4 year hiatus!

The Stone Cabin Collective is an all-volunteer group of herbalists, massage practitioners, acupuncturists and supporters who offer free services in solidarity with the Diné people of Black Mesa in their continuous resistance to massive coal and uranium mining operations, and those affected by the forced relocation policies of the US government. The clinic is guided and hosted by Marykatherine Smith at Big Mountain and is offered at various senior centers on Dinétah twice a year.

This project has always been supported and sustained by a far reaching network of caring people, & we are once again calling on the generosity of our communities to help us host another successful clinic this November!

While we think we can pull off a clinic with $2,000 (for herbs, massage tables & sheets, capsules, office supplies, etc.), our most critical expense this year is the cost of a new roof for the beloved namesake of this project, the Stone Cabin itself!

The Stone Cabin was built in 1965 by Marykatherine’s mother, Katherine Smith and a helping hand now & then; she financed the build by selling her cattle and bartered for the labor. This structure has since served as a family home, a community gathering place, a workshop hub, and resource distribution site during Covid.

With $3,000 and some elbow grease, Marykatherine is hoping to get a very much needed new roof on the Stone Cabin before winter rain & snow comes around. If you have the means, please consider supporting this project with a donation!
