Daeshondria Dee
Yá’át’ééh, everyone!
My name is DaeShondria Dee. I am Áshííhí, born for Hashk’aan Hadzhoí. My maternal grandfather is Bit’ahníí, and my paternal grandfather is Hashtł’ishnii. I come from the beautiful community of Teec Nos Pos, Arizona.
I am currently a student at Utah State University, majoring in Nursing, with hopes of becoming a NICU nurse. Throughout my year of service, my platform has been “Persevering Agriculture Through I have had the honor of promoting the importance of agriculture, tradition, and passing our knowledge on to future generations.
It is truly an honor to welcome each and every one of you to the 113th Annual Northern Navajo Fair, taking place October 1st through October 4th. I hope you enjoy the festivities, celebrate our culture, and make wonderful memories with family and friends.

Madison Tsinnie Redhouse
Ya'a'tééh!
Yá’át’ééh, everyone! My name is Madisyn Tsinnie Redhouse, and I am honored to serve as the Miss Northern Navajo Teen for 2025–2026. I come from the community of Shiprock, New Mexico, and I am currently attending Arizona State University, where I am majoring in Nursing.
My goal is to become an ICU nurse or a traveling nurse, where I hope to care for others, make a difference in their lives, and continue serving my community through the medical field.
My platform for this year is “Empowering Our Youth Through Education.” Through my platform, I want to encourage our young people to believe in themselves, pursue their education, and understand that they have endless opportunities ahead of them. As a student pursuing a career in nursing, I want to show our youth that with determination, support, and hard work, they can achieve their goals while remaining proud of who they are and where they come from.
I believe education is a powerful tool that can open doors, create opportunities, and inspire the next generation. I hope to use my own educational journey to encourage our youth to dream big, seek out opportunities, and never be afraid to pursue the future they envision for themselves.
It is truly an honor to be here and represent the Northern Navajo Nation. From my family to yours,
I would like to welcome everyone to the 113th Northern Navajo Fair! Ahéhee’ and enjoy the celebration!
