When you see a billboard of yourself in Times Square 👀⁠ ⁠ Meet Lumberjack hosava Kretzmann ↪️ NAU alum, current NAUflagstaff evaluation associate for the Office of the Vice President for Research & professional runner too (📷: jt.productions_)⁠ ⁠ 👋🏼 "Hello (Yateeh/Loloma),⁠ My name is Hosava, I grew up in Hotevilla and I am an enrolled member of the Navajo (Diné) Nation!⁠ ⁠ My goal is to bring pride, honor, and joy to my tribes, and to the surrounding tribes. I want to make sure that Native youth can do the same. To have pride of themselves, their people, their communities.⁠ ⁠ What I have come to learn through my journey of running is that it’s not just about me, it’s about the communities I come from. The communities that built who I am today. ⁠ ⁠ Thank you, Ahéhee, Kwakwaii’!"⁠ ⁠ #NAUNAHM #NAHM #NAUIndigenous #Flagstaff #Running #RunningCommunity #RunningTown #Dine #Navajo #NativeCommunity #TimesSquare #NorthernArizonaUniversity #MyNAUview
