The Agnese Nelms Haury Program in Environment & Social Justice (Haury Program) was established in 2014 to honor the life and work of Mrs. Agnese Nelms Haury. The Native Pathways Graduate Research Awards Program was designed in 2021 to strengthen the academic pathways for Native American and Indigenous Resilience students and scholars, with an emphasis on UArizona programs and graduate students devoted to Native and Indigenous resilience education, research, and outreach. This year’s cohort of awardees includes 7 graduate students from across campus: College of Public Health, College of Education, School of Anthropology, College of Law, Environmental Science and Human Rights Practice Program at College of Social & Behavioral Sciences. Their work addresses a wide range of topics, from traditional textile technologies, identity and health correlations, soil and traditional foods pollution, and college affordability for Native American students, to tribal sovereignty, Traditional Environmental Knowledge, tribal food traditions and Indigenous storytelling. The awardees will be working on the University of Arizona campus, as well as with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, the Qawalangin Tribe in Alaska, the Duwamish Tribe in Washington, Coash Salish people in British Columbia and Tohono O’odham and Mexican populations in Western Pima County.
