About this listen

In this episode, we speak with Joyce Hamilton, director of the Hopi Department of Health and Human Services and a dedicated member of the Hopi community. During the pandemic, Joyce led the Community Health Representative Program—one of the few essential services that continued frontline outreach to protect and inform the Hopi people.

This podcast shares Indigenous stories of resilience and mental wellbeing during and after COVID-19. Hear from first responders, educators, traditional knowledge holders, and recovery community members as they reflect on challenges, lessons, and culturally grounded healing. Each episode also highlights local resources for Indigenous communities in northern Arizona.

Created by NAU’s Center for Community Health and Engaged Research (CHER) with Hopi and Navajo Tribal members. Funded by Project HOPE.

We would like to acknowledge Dr. Darold Joseph for sharing his beautiful flute recordings with us. It brought a meaningful dimension to the podcast and his artistry is sincerely appreciated.
