⁠
👋🏼 "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’!"⁠
