Sacred Fatherhood and Strengthening Native Families Through Culture
Today on the I Am Dad Podcast, we are honored to welcome Albert M. Pooley, a visionary leader and the Founder and President of the Native American Fatherhood & Families Association (NAFFA). A proud member of the Hopi and Navajo nations, Mr. Pooley has devoted his life to strengthening families and communities through culturally grounded education, advocacy, and healing. With a background in social work and public administration, and as a marriage and family counselor, Mr. Pooley brings deep professional and personal insight to the conversation on responsible fatherhood. He and his wife Julia have raised six children and are grandparents to sixteen—living examples of the legacy he is working to build. Under his leadership, NAFFA’s transformative curricula—Fatherhood Is Sacred®, Motherhood Is Sacred®, Linking Generations By Strengthening Relationships®, Addressing Family Violence & Abuse©, and Suicide Prevention©—have reached 60,000 parents and trained over 2,500 facilitators across North America. Today, we’ll explore how Albert Pooley’s passion for cultural preservation and healthy parenting has become a national movement, and why the values of sacred fatherhood and motherhood resonate far beyond Native communities.
