This workshop encourages Native American and other high school students to work together to tell the stories that are most important to them and their communities. This was the vision of the late Andy Harvey who told stories important to him at KPNX 12News in Phoenix. His hope was that the next generation would take up the torch and be the storytellers of their communities. At the workshop named in his honor, students tell stories important to them with this year’s focus on sports, arts and entertainment, education, environment, and technology.
The workshop began in 2012 and is supported by the TEGNA Foundation/Channel 12 KPNX, Dow Jones News Fund, Chauncy Foundation, Arizona Broadcasters Association, Cook Native American Ministries Foundation, Hearst Foundation, Scripps Foundation, NAU Native American Cultural Center, Native Public Media, KTNN Radio, NAU President’s Office, NAU Economic Policy Institute, and NAU School of Communication.
