Yá'át'ééh!
I am an Associate Professor at Diné College and just wrapped up a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship. My research focuses on Indigenous Research Methodologies and Methods, Traditional Ecological Knowledge, Indigenous Relationships with Human and Non-Human Animals, and Epistemological Imperialism. My latest project transitions my dissertation on Navajo sheep butchering into a book project. You can follow that progress on my blog!

Dr. Ami discussed the role of these collections in her forthcoming publications on Navajo sheep butchering and the Navajo cultural arts. The thumbnail on this YouTube lecture speaks to my personality. lol
