Arizona tribal communities face inequalities every day, but a recent Arizona State University graduate said she wants to shape public policy to help change it. Ty Lesha Yellowhair argued changing public policy which guides social services would not only ensure tribal members receive the care they need, but also help to change the public perception of Native communities, which hold lots of strength and resiliency, despite challenges.
