With their own two hands:
ABOVE: Michell Gale and Percy Gale, work outside their home watering plants in Fruitland, NM. The Gales have worked since 1994 to build a home of their own while still living on tribal land. They have managed to do it without loans, completing the process as they live in the home. The private home provides more space for their son to play inside and out, compared to the alternative of living in a subdivision.
