In junior high school, Shoshana was introduced to the Title VI Indian Education program where she had the opportunity to learn about native culture and learned more Native songs, dancing, and Native American crafts.

Shoshana works for Nebo Title VI Indian Education where she helps Native American students learn about their culture, and shares Native culture with nonnative students.

Shoshana can teach about many aspects of Navajo and Native American culture including songs, dances, foods, stories, weaving, medicines, and other important aspects of Native American culture. She is also able to teach hands on activities including beading, quilting, leatherwork, moccasins, jewelry making and more.

As a teacher, Shoshana is competent in multiple art forms and can present to anyone, anytime. She enjoys teaching literacy through Native American storytelling practice; as well as entire creative processes for a variety of hands-on presentations: how to dye wool, how to make fry bread, weave baskets, social Native American dance, etc. She can create an end-of-unit film for the unit or a slideshow for teachers to send to parents. She likes to create cultural opportunities for schools after completing hands-on presentations so that whole school can learn together.
