Members of the Tule River Indian Reservation Fire Department help to dig the grave Monday Dec. 10, 2012 of a tribal member who died recently of natural causes. Afterward, they said they would move to the other side of the colorfully decorated cemetery for the somber task of digging a grave for 8-year-old Alyssa Celaya, who was murdered along with her grandmother and two other relatives on Sunday. Her father, 31-year-old Hector Celaya, is suspected in the killings and died in a shootout with Tulare County sheriff's deputies. The men said that they dig graves by hand instead of using backhoes or other machinery "out of respect." But never have they had to dig so many at once. All told, 5 residents of the reservation are dead. (AP Photo/Tracie Cone)
