It is with the deepest sorrows that we learned last evening that the body of our young missing tribal woman Jalajhia Finklea was located in Florida.
Details of her return home will follow in the days to come but right now our primary concern is for the comfort, needs, and privacy of her family.
Our very deepest condolences to the family of Jalajhia Finklea. We hold them in our prayers in this most sorrowful time. We must be here for them and one another.
Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe
