Alex Hawley (Diné) grew up in Ogden, Utah, and visited family in Shiprock, New Mexico, throughout her childhood. In 2019, Hawley received a BA in anthropology with a minor in Native American studies from Dartmouth College. She continued her studies at the University of Auckland as a Fulbright U.S. Graduate awardee where she received an MA in Museums and Cultural Heritage in 2024.

Olivera Masters earned a BA and MS in anthropology with a concentration in archaeology from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. She credits having grown up in a Mexican-Japanese American household as a driving factor in her decision to study anthropology.
