My family, friends and relatives, please be aware of the amount of garbage that is produced each year and where you dispose of your garbage. There are locations where you may recycle cans, plastic, and paper in order to maintain a healthy environment.

Mother Earth is sacred to our way of living as Diné; she provides nutrients for our livestock, fresh air, and the blessed seasons each year. Let us all take part on Earth Day to bring awareness and help keep our Mother Earth clean for future generations to come.
