Letters

I am humbled and grateful for his kind words and comments reinforcing my letter more meaningful. It’s good to hear from my former teacher/professor and a Navajo scientist via the newspaper.

Back when infections were few, you quoted an Hataalii who said the virus was born from the countless creatures incinerated in the Australian bushfires; it then drifted to South China and assumed its shape-shifting treachery after claiming a victim.

A lot of negative synonyms can be used on their recent fiasco in the 11th-hour deadline for the use of the federal grant (COVID-19).

It’s been eight months since the Navajo Nation received the CARES Act funds of $600 million-plus from the federal government and the Nation officials have been spinning their wheels. Remember, the Diné lives matter and stop playing with our lives.

We are about 10 months into the COVID-19 pandemic. What have we realized about ourselves, as well as our relationship to this parasitic virus? First, some called it “an invisible monster,” a beast we cannot see when in actuality it is a microscopic parasitic organism.
