Hello Friends, Family, and Relatives Near and Far,

I am of the Bitter Water Clan, born for the Tangle People Clan, but raised by the Big Water Clan. My maternal grandfathers belong to the Coyote Pass People Clan, and my paternal grandparents belong to the Edgewater People Clan, though I was also raised by the Salt People Clan. My name is Natiana King, and this is how I identify myself as a Navajo woman and a five-fingered being. 

My mother’s name is Roxyanne Clah, and my father’s name is Ryan Clah. My maternal grandparents are Gloria and Vincent Harvey, and my paternal grandparents are Flora Clah and the late Ronnie Clah. I am originally from Twin Lakes, New Mexico, but was raised in the small community of Tsaile, Arizona, and I currently reside in Chandler, Arizona. I am 19 years old, currently attending Scottsdale Community College, pursuing a degree in public health, with plans to further my education to become a radiology technician.

For the 2024-2025 year, my platform is to promote unity and understanding through our arts, dances, shared values, and heritage while honoring our past generations and embracing cultural diversity. 

I am incredibly honored to serve as your 102nd Miss Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial Queen, and I will do my utmost to represent all Indigenous and Native American peoples nationwide through my platform. My goal is to showcase and highlight our local artists and craftsmen while honoring those who came before us and paved the way for our people.

Ahé’héé nitsáágo!

Thank you for your continued support and for being part of this journey with me.

My platform is Háásh Dóóne’é Nílií? What is your clan?

It is always important to know your clans because it tells who you are and where you come from.  

I am very honored and proud to be Little Miss Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial. I hope to serve and represent my Native People and My Culture to the best of my abilities. I look forward to what this year will bring and the many people I will get to meet.

Áhe’héé 

Thank You
