More pictures from the 78th Navajo Nation Fair weekend! ❤️💛

The MMIASU Court had a beautiful and fun morning walking in the Navajo Nation Fair Parade 🔱 thank you to our fellow Sun Devils for showing out with pride! 🪶

That afternoon, members of the MMIASU Court attended the 74th Miss Navajo Nation Pageant! We were excited to honor and celebrate each of the contestants along side other royalty 💛 This year, 3 dedicated young ladies vied for the title of representing the Navajo Nation. Each of the contestants represented their families, communities, and teachings beautifully throughout the week from interviews, answering questions in Diné Bizaad, sheep butchering, and showcasing their talents. 🐑 A special shout out to fellow Sun Devil and former 2025-2026 Ms. Indigenous ASU, Tonana Ben, who was honored as the 1st runner up! Congratulations to Second runner up JoAnni Begay, who was also honored as Miss Congeniality!

Congratulations and best wishes to Camille Uentillie, the outgoing 2025-2026 Miss Navajo Nation! Your dedication and love for your culture and community shined throughout your reign.

Congratulations to our newly crowned 2026-2027 Miss Navajo Nation, Rochelle Francisco! May your reign be blessed with new opportunities, teachings, and love. ❤️

Yá’át’ééh & Skeg Tas!

On September 12th, the 2026-2027 MMIASU Court had the privilege of walking in the 78th Navajo Nation Fair Parade! It was a beautiful morning walking from Tse Bonito, NM to Window Rock, AZ alongside ASU students, alumni, and MMIASU families 🔱❤️

This parade was especially meaningful for our Mr. Indigenous ASU 1st Attendant Wydell, as the parade route brought the MMIASU Court through his hometown of Window Rock and St. Michael’s, AZ. Walking through the community where he was raised made the experience even more special as he represented MMIASU alongside his community and fellow ASU students. 🔱❤️

Ahéhee’ nitsaago and S’apo to our MMIASU families, volunteers, and those who donated!

Your support made this wonderful event possible as we represented our communities, culture, and the ASU Indigenous student body! We are so grateful for your time, effort, and contributions. 🔱

Our team was so amazing and we are so grateful. The time and dedication Native Sun Devils put into traveling to the Navajo Nation, handing out goodies, and interacting with the community was amazing and goes to show how committed the ASU Indigenous student body is to representing and showing up for community! 🪶

More pictures to come!

Hello, Students! ❤️🤗
As we begin a new semester, the Ms. & Mr. Indigenous ASU Royalty Court, Mr. And Miss Native American University of Arizona Ambassadors, and NAU Council of Indigenous Ambassadors wanted to share a thoughtful message of encouragement with our students.

Yá’át’ééh and Skeg Tas!

As promised, here’s our Ms. & Mr.’s continuation of attending the 104th Gallup Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial! The weekend was full of excitement, love, and laughter that we will forever hold close to our hearts. ☺️💗

Saturday morning, our Ms. & Mr. Indigenous ASU walked with good energy and prayers as we greeted the community around the beautiful town of Gallup for the parade. As we walked, we were surrounded by so many beautiful faces, voices, and greetings. 😊Our Ms. Indigenous ASU had the opportunity to speak with KGAK and wish the people of the Navajo Nation Yáʼátʼééh Abíní 🏜️💛(a Good Morning in Navajo)! It was a great way to start off our weekend!

Our Mr. Indigenous ASU also attended the Grand Entry Saturday night with the other beautiful royalty that had traveled near and far for the festivities.🩷 Our Mr. Indigenous ASU also visited the Art Gallery that was hosting the Artist contest, where they had the honor of entering two pieces and received a first place blue ribbon! 💙 Finally, our Mr. ended the weekend attending the Rodeo! They love rodeo since it’s a big part of their family so it was a must to attend!

Thank you to the Gallup Ceremonial Committee for putting together such an amazing event, the work and time they continue to do every year doesn’t go unnoticed! Thank you again, and we shall see you soon Navajo Nation Parade! 🪶 Ahé’hee, nitsaago!

Yá’át’ééh! 🤍

This past weekend, our Ms. & Mr. Indigenous ASU had the honor of attending the 104th Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial! ❤️💛 It was a wonderful weekend celebrated with the amazing community of Gallup, NM. The weekend began with the coronation of Miss Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial Queen and Little Miss Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial and continued with the Morning Parade, Art Gallery, and Rodeo! 🐴

Friday evening, Candice attended the combined coronation! During the pageant, each of the contestants represented their family, tribes, and culture with pride and honor. Their talents, abilities, and determination were felt throughout the entire weekend. 🤍 It was a wonderful evening alongside our “sash sisters” to meet and celebrate the outgoing Misses, Tewakeedah Martin and Gizelle Van Winkle, in the passing on of their titles. Tewakeedah and Gizelle have demonstrated their dedication and love to their communities and culture. We wish the outgoing Misses continued blessings and opportunities in their journeys. 💛 We would like to congratulate the 2026-2027 Miss Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial Queen and Little Miss Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial, Damaris Yazzie and Rhylee Manwell! Congratulations and best wishes in your reigns! ❤️

The evening continued with beautiful performances by the Aztec, White Mountain Apache, Southern Cheyenne, Chickasaw, Comanche, Hopi, Navajo Ohkay Owinge (San Juan Pueblo), Pima, Sioux, Taos Pueblo, Totonac Voladores, the Cellicion Dancers of the Zuni Pueblo, the Kallestewa of the Zuni Pueblo, the Olla Maidens of the Zuni Pueblo, as well as solos by the Maricopa, Omaha and Northern Cheyenne. It was truly amazing to see our relatives celebrate our ways of life in one arena. It was incredibly special to see and feel every drum, dance, and song. 🪶

Thank you to everyone at the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial for putting together such amazing events showcasing our cultures. Thank you to the performers and contestants for an amazing weekend of celebration and creation. More pictures to come of Saturday’s events 💛

Yá’át’ééh! 🤍

On July 31st, I was invited to speak at the Jeehdeez’a Elementary School Back to School event! I was so excited to share words of encouragement to students from my community. As the day continued, I also had the honor of speaking on air with KTNN and share my support for students and ASU! The evening ended with a screening of Star Wars in Diné Bizaad. Seeing our youth involved with school and language during the summer months was amazing and I’m grateful I was invited back home to attend. 🌾📚

On August 1st, my travels continued as I made a stop at Monument Valley, Utah! It was so beautiful and I had such a wonderful time walking with the landscape. Later in the evening, I attended and participated in the grand entry at the Shadow Prey Powwow in Jeddito, Arizona. It was a lovely evening filled beautiful dancing, song, and prayer. 🪶

Thank you to all the event organizers and community for creating such beautiful events. Best wishes to all students in this incoming school year 📚 Ahéheeʼ for having me and I look forward to more wonderful events!
