Ogden Discusses Problem-Solving On The Navajo Nation

In a recent interview with Arizona Public Media, CHEE professor Kim Ogden discussed how University of Arizona students are solving critical problems on the Navajo Nation.

The students are part of the Indigenous Food, Energy, and Water Security and Sovereignty, or Indige-FEWSS trainee grant, a five-year project funded by the National Science Foundation. Ogden and the students are spending a semester on the Nation to develop solutions that can be deployed in the rural area.

"They spend time with the Navajo people, they do an immersion with them, and spend time in their hogans, and training some of the students on the Navajo Nation with ideas we have that could help solve some of their energy, water and food problems," Ogden said.
