Notah Begay's long walk
Tom Farrey
ESPN.com
The question, the basic reason Notah Begay was sitting before the
Senate Committee
on Indian Affairs in a wood-paneled room in the nation's capital, was
simple but oddly
personal, as if he were some federal program to be studied: How did
this happen?
How -- did -- Notah Begay -- happen?
Senators do not ask this question of Derek Jeter or Brett
Favre or even Tiger Woods, far more luminous sports
celebrities, because none of their lives are, as the
invite last May to 485 Russell Senate Office Building
would suggest, as important to the nation's affairs as
that of Begay, child of the reservation, creation of the
public links, graduate of Stanford University, registered
member of the Navajo Nation and son of Mother Earth.
