Biographical Note
Peterson Zah was born December 2, 1937 in Low Mountain, Arizona to Henry and Mae (Multine) Zah. Zah attended Phoenix Indian School until 1960 then went to Arizona State University graduating in 1963 with a bachelor’s degree in education. He holds honorary doctor of law degrees from both Colorado College and the College of Santa Fe.
From 1983 to 1987 Zah served as chairman of the Navajo Tribal Council at Window Rock, governing the largest reservation in the United States. Zah focused much time and energy on reforming education. In 1990 Zah became the first elected president in the new Navajo Nation. He worked with his childhood friend, Hopi tribal leader Ivan Sidney, to attempt to work out the difficulties of U.S. government imposed relocation in the Navajo-Hopi land dispute.
Peterson Zah served as Special Advisor to the President on American Indian Affairs for Arizona State University from 1995 to 2010.
