Shi ei Natasha Hardy yinishye. Kinyaa\u2019aanii nishliigo, K\u2019etlahi bashishchiin, Hashk\u2019ahadzohi ei dashichee, aadoo Naakai Dine\u2019e ei dashinali. I am from Hunter\u2019s Point, AZ which is considered part of the Fort Defiance Agency. My loving parents are Katherine and Gerald Nez. My maternal grandparents are Marie and Billy Hardy of Hunter\u2019s Point, AZ. My paternal grandparents are the late Mary Alice Shay and Mark Nez of Lukachukai, AZ. I am 24 years old.<\/p>\n<p>I have three beautiful little sisters of which I am the eldest. I am a 2007 graduate of Window Rock High School. At first, I furthered my education at UNM-Gallup majoring in Dental Hygiene; in the fall of 2010, I decided to switch my major for something that I felt would be more rewarding.<\/p>\n<p>With that, I am currently pursuing a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Elementary Education for Dine\u2019 Teachers with Dine\u2019 College. The decision to change my major was fairly easy. I felt that the revitalization of our Navajo language and culture was very important and necessary. I truly believe this is my purpose.<\/p>\n<p>If I am blessed with the honor of representing this great nation, I will emphasize our traditional way of life and to stress the importance of teaching. Lastly, without the support and teachings of my family, I would know be who I am today. Instilled in me are their teachings, knowledge and wisdom of our language and the Navajo way of life. For this, I am and will always be eternally grateful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/miss-navajo-nation-2013-2014-natasha-hardy\/miss-navajo-nation-2013-2014-natasha-hardy-contemporary-skills\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2118\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2118\" alt=\"Miss Navajo Nation 2013-2014 Natasha Hardy - Contemporary Skills\" src=\"http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Miss-Navajo-Nation-2013-2014-Natasha-Hardy-Contemporary-Skills-720x512.jpg\" width=\"610\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Miss-Navajo-Nation-2013-2014-Natasha-Hardy-Contemporary-Skills-720x512.jpg 720w, http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Miss-Navajo-Nation-2013-2014-Natasha-Hardy-Contemporary-Skills-300x213.jpg 300w, http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Miss-Navajo-Nation-2013-2014-Natasha-Hardy-Contemporary-Skills.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Miss Navajo Nation 2013-2014 Natasha Hardy &#8211; Contemporary Skills<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/miss-navajo-nation-2013-2014-natasha-hardy\/natasha-hardy-evening-gown-fashion-show\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2119\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2119\" alt=\"Natasha Hardy Evening Gown Fashion Show\" src=\"http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Natasha-Hardy-Evening-Gown-Fashion-Show-720x478.jpg\" width=\"610\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Natasha-Hardy-Evening-Gown-Fashion-Show-720x478.jpg 720w, http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Natasha-Hardy-Evening-Gown-Fashion-Show-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Natasha Hardy Evening Gown Fashion Show<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/miss-navajo-nation-2013-2014-natasha-hardy\/miss-navajo-contestants\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2120\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2120\" alt=\"Miss-Navajo-Contestant\" src=\"http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Miss-Navajo-Contestants-720x478.jpg\" width=\"610\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Miss-Navajo-Contestants-720x478.jpg 720w, http:\/\/navajopeople.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Miss-Navajo-Contestants-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 610px) 100vw, 610px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Miss Navajo \u00a0Contestants<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">All Photos By Harold Carey Jr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Office of Miss Navajo Nation PO Box 2860 Window Rock, AZ 86515 Phone (928) 871-6379 or fax to 928-871-6385 email: brphillips16@yahoo.com If you wish to have Miss Navajo Nation at your event please fax or mail an invitation letter to the Office of Miss Navajo Nation Natasha Hardy is\u00a0from: St. Michaels, Ariz.
