Support for Carol Warrior's Family
Donation protected
Carol Edelman Warrior was an Indigenous literature scholar, fighter for Indigenous rights, and lover of family, community and students whose great heart stopped on July 4 while she was within her beloved Sundance community in Montana.
Carol was enrolled with the Ninilchik Village Tribe and of Alutiiq (Sugpiaq), Dena'ina Athabascan, and A'aniiih (Gros Ventre) descent. As an Assistant Professor at Cornell University in the Department of English and Affiliate Faculty in American Studies and the American Indian and Indigenous Studies Program, she focused on Native American, First Nations, and Alaska Native literatures, Indigenous philosophies, Indigenous futurisms, and Indigenous land-based practices.
Friends of Carol and her extended family have asked how they can help support the family as they deal with their unexpected great loss. In the midst of deep grief, her partner and children are in Montana and must make their way back to Ithaca, NY; her funeral costs must be paid for, and a financial cushion is needed to help with finding new housing and bridging the loss of their financial stability. Your love and prayers are essential, and if you can contribute materially, your donations would be greatly appreciated.

Carol Edelman Warrior
March 19, 1962 - July 4, 2018
Carol Edelman Warrior joined her ancestors on July 4, 2018 surrounded by the beautiful family that she created. There are no words for the loss we feel as we move into a world without her. Carol was our mother. She was our family, our grandmother, our teacher, caretaker, wife, and friend. Carol is deeply missed by her husband Shaawano Chad Uran, her children; Bryce (Christy) Stevenson, Lacey Stevenson Warrior, Brett Stevenson Warrior, Sage (Mika) Warrior, Cleo Keahna, Della Keahna Uran, Ike Keahna Uran and Smokii Sumac.
Carol carried the name Warrior in every aspect of her life. There was nothing she couldn’t do, including earning her PhD from the University of Washington in 2015. She fought hard for the lives of her children, and was most proud of all of our accomplishments; our graduations, performances, writing, singing, flute and drum-making, beading, gardening, and our babies. Carol loved her grandchildren Lily, Daphne, and the one on the way, with her whole heart and worked tirelessly to change this world to make it better for them, and for all her grandchildren yet to come. Carol taught us how to love. She was medicine, and we will honour her love as we move forward together as a family.
The wake will be held starting at 7pm Saturday, July 7 at the Agency Community Centre in Fort Belknap, and there will be a funeral service to follow at 11am Sunday July 8.
We thank you for joining us in grief at this time and ask, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to support the family.
