Maste Shawl Law

Maste Shawl “The Sun is Shining” Law was born on January 3, 2002 to Chris Belgarde and Rachel Law and made her journey on February 23, 2023.

Maste was an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians on the Oregon coast. She was raised and attended school in North Dakota, Montana and Chiloquin, Ore where she currently resided with her parents and family. She attended Chiloquin High School and Falcon Heights School. Maste was a young, happy soul with a goofy grin. She lived to spend her pastime with her family - sisters, aunties, cousins, parents and grandparents. Whether it be baking and cooking for them, or driving and taking road trips while singing along the way. She also loved going to the beach or finding a new place to eat. Maste’s truest quality was her loyalty - she valued any relationship and she was loyal to it and to you, no matter what. Her beautiful eyes always looked like they had something to say to you.

She is survived by her parents, Rachel Law of Chiloquin and Chris Belgarde of Browning, Mont.; sister, Keya Law; grandparents, Cassie and John Law; great aunts, Jackie and John Galbreath, Delores Case; aunts, Sandy and Alec SandCrane, LeeLee Miller, Sarah Miller, Suzie Calvin, Barb Allen; uncles, Joe Law, Jerald Law and numerous extended family.
