He attended the Polacca Day School and then Oraibi High School where he studied for a year under the tutelage of Fred Kabotie. Naha had a natural talent for painting and was encouraged by Kabotie to pursue his interest. Under his own initiative Naha took several correspondence courses and attended the Phoenix Indian School.
