Joseph shared that he decided to teach in the Southwest at a tribal college because he saw it as an opportunity to work with individuals with a similar culture to the culture he grew up around. He also discusses how tribal law is a major part of tribal college culture, and how Diné operates within the Navajo concepts of thinking, planning, living, and assuring when it comes to decision making. Joseph also examines how “white laws” often criminalizes the culture of other people.
