Nilak Butler, renowned human rights and environmental activist, actress, singer, sister and auntie to many passed onto the spirit world on December 26, 2002 at the age of 49. Nilak died after a two and a half year battle with ovarian cancer.

"Today this world is a lesser place. Today the next world is better place. While we grieve Nilak's leaving this reality, the ancestors rejoice at Nilak's arrival in the ancestral reality. Nilak was, is and will always be a part of us. In the way of spirit, we are fortunate in that we now know the name of one of our spirit helpers, Nilak Butler. The circle continues."

--John Trudell
