Geography student makes hometown impact on Navajo Nation

Jayvion Chee, a Diné tribe member from Fort Defiance, AZ and student in the ASU MAS-GIS program, received a rare winter internship with the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Wildland Fire and Aviation Management. Bringing his unique perspective and familiarity with his hometown area to the project, Chee leveraged both private and publicly available data to identify road surface type, identified who managed specific road systems (U.S., state, county, or Bureau of Indian Affairs), and created a digital visualization story map.
