It is behind you, waiting to be claimed.” – from The Ancestral WatchTony was raised on Black Mesa by his great‑grandmother Masan, who taught him to run at dawn with a stone in his mouth—not as ritual, but as technology. His Lithuanian grandfather drove 25 miles of dirt road each year to sit in a hogan and pass on a tradition that survived Soviet suppression. His grandfather Dineh Yazzie walked six miles a day and died at 103, surrounded by family.He carries two lineages that have survived displacement, suppression, and the modern world’s noise. He spent decades leading economic development for the Navajo Nation, co‑founding clean energy companies, and running nationally acclaimed programs at Grand Canyon Trust. He is writing three books on what ancestral systems can teach the modern world.Tony holds an MBA from Northern Arizona University and is a Standard Bearer Honoree in the Alumni Hall of Fame. An entrepreneur and author, his work spans wellness, technology, and agriculture, including The Ancestral Watch Series. He served three terms as Executive Director of Navajo Nation Economic &amp; Government Development and is a co-founder of multiple ventures, including Navajo Power PBC. He was also the founding director of the Native America Program at Grand Canyon Trust for 14 years and is currently a PhD candidate in Sustainable Development Education.
