My Eagle Scout project will take place Nov. 12 and 13 in Tohatchi on the Navajo Reservation at St. Mary’s Mission.

Early Saturday morning, Melissa Skeet, 33, started a journey to roller skate more than 300 miles across the Navajo Nation to raise awareness of the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

Cooking enthusiasts and book readers lined up inside Camille’s Sidewalk Cafe on the evening of Oct. 21 seeking Lisa Platero-Brown’s autograph on their copy of “Living Full Cookbook.”

On a cloudy day in Shiprock at Nizhoni Park, the sound of skateboards and announcers could be heard in the skate park.

Outside the New Mexico Veterans Memorial, the sound of a taiko (Japanese drum) accompanied by plucking of the shamisen (Japanese guitar) echoe across the parking lot.
