The political dust appears to be flying all over the Navajo rez. This is not news, considering the number of candidates competing for the very controversial spot in the Navajo president’s office. It didn’t have to be this way, but that is what happens every four years.

On Thursday, June 9, 2022, I traveled to Window Rock to find out what happened to my elderly Hardship check.

As the tribal government continues to work at getting Hardship funds to the Navajo people who have yet to apply, I must ask why they turned their back to those relations who have journeyed on to the spirit world.

Here’s a platform that will require two-terms time and with the urgency of unprecedented proportion, which is to say a one-termer or one with a remaining term won’t accomplish this most critical policy facing the Navajo Nation.

To all the candidates and political leaders running for elected office, please be realistic on objectives. You can vision but understand much of what you will propose is all but semantics.
