Peterson Zah's Life Full of Achievement

Navajo leader Peterson Zah received a lifetime achievement award earlier this month from the Grand Canyon Trust. From 1982 to 1987, he served as the chairman of the Navajo Nation, then became its first president in 1990. Zah sat down with Navajo freelancer Jaynie Parrish at his home in Window Rock, Arizona to talk about his long and storied career. The winter Olympics are just about to start but there's plenty of other athletes that Pawnee and Euchee citizen Brent Cahwee is following. Cahwee, our go to Indigenous sports analyst, co-founded the website NDNSPORTS. He joins the show with more on the Native athletes he's keeping an eye on.
