Shaandiin Parrish, Miss Navajo Nation, takes a brief pause while distributing food to Ganado community members. A political science graduate from Arizona State University, Parrish was selected as Miss Navajo Nation in September 2019. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, she has been traveling across the Navajo Nation distributing food to Diné families. Parrish was selected because of her embodiment of the Navajo values imparted to her during her Kinaaldá, or coming-of-age ceremony, as well as for her academic accomplishments. She may continue holding the Miss Navajo Nation title into 2022 if the annual contest continues to be postponed because of the pandemic.
