A new study out of the University of Arizona measures the scale and economic output of tribal agriculture in Arizona — and it’s big.

2026 US WASH Convening was an incredible opportunity to (re)connect, (re)inspire and (re)align with clean water and sanitation warriors! It was remarkable to have so many Navajo Water Access Coordination Group members present - many we saw in person for the first time since we started working together in 2020 to address clean water issues on the Navajo Nation based on community needs and solutions. Thank you for all to George who founded and is now leaving after 15 years of fierce vision and leadership. is honored to be a part of these conversations, and this community!

Thank you to all who came out to our 2026 Perspectives on Indigenous Resilience: 2025 Graduate Research Grantees Showcase & Haury Networking Event! We heard presentations from seven The University of Arizona graduate students from various fields, ranging from Indigenous public health, water quality, food sovereignty, land dispossession to education. Over fifty people attended in person, including a group of high school students hosted by Native American Initiatives, and fifteen more folks attended via Zoom. We appreciate all the kind support and encouragement offered to graduate students, as well as want to thank all the faculty who serve as advisors to the students. After the showcase, we shared a relaxed and fun networking lunch, and we appreciate being in community with you all! The recording of the event will be available soon. (Thank you to Torran Anderson from University of Arizona Indigenous Resilience Center for taking our group photo!)

The conversation between Arizona Law Professor Andrew Coan, and former UA law Dean Tom Sullivan, President Emeritus of Vermont at the University of Arizona Law, was a terrific end of year event for the community. Their illuminating discussion of Sullivan's new book on Presidential Power, Responsibility and Accountability (with Richard Painter) could not have been better timed, given the intense focus on these constitutional and normative issues today. It was gratifying to see a packed classroom of alumni, UA faculty, students ,and community members leaning into these vital matters of law and public policy. The Haury Program was very proud to be a co-sponsor of this public event.
