Bio:
Shí éí Alvin Harvey yinishyé. Tó baazhni’ázhi nishłį́. Honágháahnii bashishchiin. Dághaałchííʼ dashicheii. Kiyaa’áanii dashinalí. My name is Alvin Harvey, I am Diné, a citizen of the Navajo Nation, and of the Two-Who-Came-to-the-Water Clan, born for the One-Walks-Around Clan; my maternal grandfather is of Irish descent and my paternal grandfather is of the Towering-House Clan.
I am originally from Aztec, NM and Thoreau, NM, and currently reside in the land of Wampanoag and Massachusett as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. My continuing service and passion are towards the continuing healing of our relationships with Earth and Space environments through Indigenous research systems and engineering. By weaving together shared and Diné specific research methodologies and methods for astrobiology, satellites systems, astronaut analogs, and education I continue to strive to learn how to be a good relative.
