On Friday, November 10th @ noon, innovative business development leader, Tony Skrelunas, Native America Program Director for the Grand Canyon Trust and former head of commerce for the Navajo Nation, speaks with Method to the Madness host Lisa Kiefer about new community-based initiatives, local businesses and social ventures that create paths to entrepreneurship for Native Americans while still respecting culture, environment and tradition.
One of their ventures, DinéHózhó, is transforming the Navajo economy by using traditional indigenous knowledge, applying investment tools to projects on the reservation, and continually seeking innovative solutions with a regional approach while aspiring to be ecologically and economically sustainable and committed to enduring the Diné life-way principles of Hózhó, environmental ethics, and social conscience. The goal is to enable western Navajo communities to restore, capture, innovate, and interconnect to create a sustainable Diné economy.
