Miss Navajo Nation - Niagara Rockbridge

The crown is heavy and, along with the responsibility to represent her family, community, language and culture, rests on the shoulders of Miss Navajo Nation, Niagara Rockbridge. Unlike any pageant you could imagine, Niagara explains her favorite part of the competition - sheep butchering. She also explains what life is really like on the reservation, balancing family, service and education both within and outside of the Navajo Nation. Join The Tourism Academy's Stephen Ekstrom for this wonderful conversation and learn how you can experience the beautiful sights, flavors and people of the Navajo Nation.
