Welcome to Anahuy Mentoring

Michelle M. Jacob, Ph.D. (Yakama) created Anahuy Mentoring to support her vision of teaching about the importance of Indigenous ways of knowing and being.

“Anahuy” is the Yakama/Ichishkiin word for Black Bear. If you’d like to hear átway Tuxámshish Dr. Virginia Beavert pronounce Anahuy, please click here and enjoy this free audio resource from the Ichishkíin Dictionary that our beloved Elder Tuxámshish published with Dr. Sharon Hargus.
