The Santa Clara delegation traveling to Tuba City, Arizona will spend the week on the Navajo Nation in northeast Arizona hosted by Amizade Global Service-Learning. SCU students will be placed in a classroom throughout the week and will work directly with Navajo students at the Tuba City Boarding School. Through this experience SCU students will be able to build relationships with young students, share about their experiences as SCU students, and provide valuable to support to the teachers and students. The group will also learn with and from the local community about the region’s health care, education, welfare and environmental issues. Students will learn about Navajo history and culture through various activities that may include: visits to the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, and the Navajo Interactive Museum, storytelling with community members, and participating in a Navajo sweat lodge ceremony. The SCU group will stay in a hogan, which is a traditional Navajo home.
