  Mr. O'HALLERAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life of Rena 
Ann George, a beloved resident of Winslow, Arizona, who passed away 
last month.
  In 2019, my staff and I had the privilege of visiting Rena and her 
husband, Herbert, at their home in Winslow. During this visit, I spoke 
with Rena and Herbert about the impacts they experienced over the past 
four decades as a result of their forced relocation following the 1974 
Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act.
  I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet with the George 
family, learn about their life, and see some of Rena's beautiful arts 
and crafts.
  Throughout her life, Rena dedicated herself wholeheartedly to her 
family, her many communities, and her arts and crafts business.
  Her kindness, warmth, and hard work have made a profound impact on 
her community and her loved ones.
  Pat and I are keeping Rena's family, friends, and the entire Winslow 
community in our prayers as we mourn her passing.
