Dr. Larry Emerson
Memorial Scholarship

He walked a path of light and service throughout his life. His life’s work cannot be confined in this brief narrative, but his gentle spirit touched all those that he crossed paths with. Larry was dedicated to the Navajo Nation and all of the lands’ Native people. As a shaman he spread the power of education and ritual everywhere he went (see more of his legacy here: Tsédaak’aan Learning Community). This scholarship has been established to honor his legacy and his work with the Native people he loved and represented.
