LumberChats: Inside NAU

Between Two Worlds: Indige-Lumberjacks

Northern Arizona University

Over 1,500 Indigenous students from 127 tribal nations call NAU home.

On this episode of LumberChats, we bring together students from the Navajo, White Mountain Apache, Yaqui, and Tohono O'odham communities to talk about the complexities of pivoting between life on the reservation and life at NAU. 

Join us as we find out what surprised them most about campus life and how they retain their cultural practices while being in an academic setting.

Podcast guests:
Beyonce Bahe – White Mountain Apache
Sarah Chatter – Diné
Isiah Kaye – Yaqui / Tohono O'odham
