PATRICK
SCOTT
FOUNDATION

Patrick Scott, a Diné (Navajo) from White Mesa, Arizona, grew up herding sheep, cows, and horses with his family. He primarily spoke Diné until his senior year in high school and grew up in the government boarding school system. After high school, Patrick attended Haskell Indian Junior College and graduated from Northern Arizona University in 1995 with a degree in Small Business Management.

As a professional artist, Patrick crafted feather fans and stone sculptures, gaining recognition through art shows across the U.S. By 2004, he transitioned to fulfilling direct orders for his work. In 2009, he studied under three different medicine people, becoming a hat'aalii. He does Hozhooji, Protection Way, and Blackening Ceremonies.

Patrick is committed to his community, focusing on building the Patrick Scott Foundation, a non-profit organization to support the White Mesa community. His journey as an artist, healer, and leader reflects resilience, cultural preservation, and service.

Mary Scott was raised in a traditional Navajo household southeast of Kayenta, where she developed a deep appreciation for her cultural heritage. She attended Kayenta Boarding School during her early education and graduated from Monument Valley High School in early 1980. 

Mary pursued higher education at Haskell Indian Junior College, earning an Associate of Arts degree in Liberal Studies. She then continued her academic journey at Northern Arizona University, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 1992. 

Following graduation, Mary began her nursing career at Tuba City Indian Health Service. Over the past 33 years, she has been a dedicated healthcare professional at Tuba City Regional Health Care Corporation (TCRHCC), providing patient care to Native American tribal members and non-Native individuals. 

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Mary stays connected to her roots by raising sheep and tending to her cornfield, reflecting her commitment to Navajo traditions and way of life.
