Through a series of events while in college, she reunites her family and in doing so gains new insight to her own prejudice towards her people. She graduates, begins Med School at U of NM. Due to her achievements, she is drawn into the Hantavirus crisis of 1994 which killed many Navajo. She is placed on the CDC field team. Through a "miracle" she discovers her father and Nefti and her father are key to the team solving the cause of the outbreak.
