Someone who works day in and day out to preserve her own culture. Despite colonization. The White Mountain Apache Tribe lives in the central southeast of Arizona on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. In this episode, you will meet a member of the White Mountain Apache Tribe who grew up on the reservation and now serves as the Executive Director of the Fort Apache Heritage Foundation. Her name is Krista Beazley. In this episode, you\u2019ll hear how Krista went from being a wolf biologist and ecotourism guide for the Tribe to being an Executive Director with a small staff, overseeing the restoration of 20+ buildings, and wearing a bunch of different hats at the Foundation. In addition to hearing about Krista\u2019s journey into nonprofit leadership and the work her organization is doing to preserve White Mountain Apache culture, you\u2019re also going to learn a little more about American history when we discuss the boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 dorms and the culture when Krista shares the traditional foods served at a White Mountain Apache Thanksgiving dinner including things like acorn stew and tennis racquet bread.
