CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2012 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS!!
Briana Dohi (Navajo)
Briana comes from a small Native American community on the western edge of the Navajo reservation overlooking the Grand Canyon. She has a passion for health that is both academic and personal, and will be pursuing a nursing degree. Briana ultimately wants to improve the health of her community, which has experienced high rates of radiation exposure from nearby abandoned uranium mines. She attended Greyhills Academy High School in Tuba City with exceptional academic success, holding a place in the National Honor Society 2010 -2012. She’s been an active member of the community participating in trash pickup and assisting community elders. She plans on attending Coconino Community College in the fall as her first step in getting a degree in nursing.
Jhett Williams (Cheyenne River Sioux)
Jhett is a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe from Eagle Butte, South Dakota. For his entire high school career, he has been a rising star in the rodeo world – qualifying for state and national finals, roping championships, and winning a host of awards and honors along the way. Jhett was also very involved with basketball and football through high school, and was Junior Class Vice President. He aims to get degrees in welding and land surveying, skills he plans to bring back to his community and generations-old family horse ranch. He also plans to start a business and help his community’s young cowboys develop their skills to keep horses a vital part of future generations. Jhett will be attending Odessa College in Texas in the fall.
We are very proud of Briana and Jhett and look forward to reporting back to our Native Vision family on their success!
