Lauren Nabahe – Paiute-Shoshone, Navajo, and Mono
Penaho ne naniha Lauren Nabahe Kwinawetün nümü Diné Mono ne noompai nyet et san dyne snunyka
Lauren Nabahe is Paiute-Shoshone, Navajo, and Mono, hailing from the ancestral lands of Owens Valley in Lone Pine California. Lauren is honored to work as the Eastside Native American Education Program Manager serving Bellevue, Northshore, and Lake Washington School District, and has been Pow-Wow dancing for over 12 years. Lauren was also a part of a professional dance group called Living Legends for two years. As part of that dance group, Lauren was able to tour the world sharing traditional Native dances, including Women’s Jingle and Fancy. Though Jingle dress is Lauren’s chosen style, she is blessed to also know Fancy Shawl and Traditional. It is her greatest joy to share the knowledge that she has with others, especially when supporting individuals in their journey as Pow-Wow dancers.
