This week’s guest is Jon Ghahate of Placitas, NM a Native American and a member of the Pueblos of Laguna and Zuni and of the Badger and Turkey clans.  Jon is a Vietnam-era veteran, a former educator, healthcare practitioner, journalist and father of three, including one who is blind. 

While in the U.S. Army Jon served as a physician's assistant.  He went on to be a public middle school and high school math and science educator as well as athletic coach for the public school system.

He has also been a journalist for a national radio talk program and more recently an educator at the Crow Canyon Archeological Center in Colorado where he works with students and patrons to develop accurate, credible, and respectful narratives of Southwest cultures.

Jon has a lot to say about being a Native American and is a wealth of knowledge about Native American culture. 

That's all on this episode of the SFN Dad to Dad podcast.

Special Fathers Network - 
SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 700+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated.  There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."

SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.
