Following a mine spill into the San Juan River that impacted the Diné Bikeyah (Navajo people), the community conducted testing of household water, dust, and soil, and tested resident blood and urine for lead and arsenic to determine the impacts of the mine spill on the health of community members. This article reports on a model of environmental health dialogue which was used to inform the crafting of more culturally responsive and effective dissemination and communication of materials in relation to study findings. The model was defined by iterative, multidirectional communication among Indigenous community members, trusted Indigenous leaders, and Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers.
