About Us

At Voices of the Fire Council, we are dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and unity among our members. Our mission is to empower individuals to celebrate their Indigenous heritage through education, community, and cultural initiatives—fostering pride, connection, and a renewed

appreciation for ancestral traditions.

Founded in 2024 by a dedicated team of three from Katy, Texas, Voices of the Fire Council emerged from a shared vision to make a meaningful difference in the lives of vulnerable indigenous communities. 

In 2025, recognizing a significant gap in communication and resources, particularly regarding notary public services for Indian reservations, we set out to bridge that divide by creating VOTFC as a Non-Profit.

Our logo, featuring a Lady with talons poised to assist, symbolizes our commitment to giving and receiving. It embodies the essence of our mission: to spread love, compassion, and support throughout our work. Each design element reflects our dedication to uplifting and empowering these communities, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs are met. Ignite your inner fire and live with passion and a purpose.

Together, we strive to create a network of support that fosters connection and understanding, ultimately impacting the lives of those we serve. 

At Voices of the Fire Council, we are dedicated to fostering a sense of belonging and unity among our members. We do this through love and understanding. We discover what we have in common, and then we strive to build our best selves to benefit our communities. 

Our medicine also includes collaboration.  This is a beautiful reminder of the strength we find in friendship through shared collaboration. I genuinely believe that together, we lift each other and create a space full of courage, heart, and endless inspiration. We invite you to celebrate these powerful bonds. 

Additionally, our medicine can be as simple as a smile, a cup of coffee, or a leisurely walk in nature. It's simple, and this is the approach we take. 

The Sacred Circle is Sealed, in a good way and with a good heart. Welcome to this sacred space for families and souls like mine who are honoring their roots and ancestral lineage. This is my canvas, where my true roots grow and flourish.

I am a mother, wife, sister, and grandmother. I am proud to embrace a rich tapestry of heritage: French, Scottish, Irish, Choctaw, and Mexican. I was born on my ancestral land in Watsonville, California—an area rich in Indigenous history and connected to the broader Indian country that spans miles from San Francisco to Big Sur. The blood of my ancestors runs deep, thick, and enduring, reminding us that we are all connected beneath the surface. Let the rivers, oceans, and streams serve as the veins that carry our collective spirit, uniting us in sacred flow.

Trust your heart as your compass. Send prayers to all women rooted in their Indigenous lineage, holding the sacredness of their bloodlines and traditions. Never forget—you are SACRED. You are holy, blessed, sanctified, divine, whole, a temple, complete, and set apart with reverence. Walk with grace, protected by the divine spirit within you. Listen to your inner voice—your sacred guide—and walk in beauty, embodying life.

As a founder of Eagle Eye Signings, I aim to serve with integrity and dedication, ensuring seamless real estate transactions through precise documentation and notarization. My team and I are committed to accuracy, trust, and facilitating your journey toward homeownership and stability, bringing clarity and peace of mind in every step.

My background as a Catastrophe Adjuster has instilled in me a deep understanding of urgency, resilience, and compassion. I approach every case with trustworthiness and efficiency, bridging gaps to secure your dreams and investments. Together, we honor your journey, supporting your path with respect, protection, and the divine energy that flows through us all.

May you walk in beauty, with your head held high, guided by the Holy Spirit—and remember, you are life, sacred, and never alone.

With reverence and respect,
Judy Lichtenberger, CEO

Patrick Orozco is the Tribal Chairman of the Pajaro Valley Ohlone Indian Council, a dedicated teacher, Indigenous historian, elder, and dancer. Rooted in his family heritage—beginning with his mother and grandmother—Patrick has spent decades recording the stories, songs, and traditions of the Ohlone people through interviews with elders and cultural preservation efforts.

In 1976, Patrick founded the Pajaro Valley Ohlone Indian Council, a non-profit organization committed to protecting Ohlone sacred sites and promoting cultural awareness. His work as an educator began when he was invited to a Watsonville school to share California Native history, sing traditional songs, demonstrate cultural regalia—including abalone necklaces, clapper sticks, rattles, and body paint—and tell stories that honor his ancestors.

Patrick also formed the “Amah-Ka-Tura” (People of the Land) dance group, symbolizing the resilience and ongoing efforts to preserve Ohlone culture. Through his leadership and dedication, he continues to serve as a vital steward of his community’s heritage.

The Pajaro Valley Ohlone Indian Council’s mission is to educate, share culture, and support those in need. Their programs include honoring elders annually, assisting Indigenous elders, and participating in Red Dress events. The council is based in Watsonville, California, and remains a vital center for cultural preservation and community service.
