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.

As surprised as anyone else, I am quite shocked with the upsurge of COVID-19 virus infections around the country. Every state in the union has spikes of un-paralleled numbers as is the Navajo Nation in the upsurge.

I have a question that could be a possible solution to the drought we know is here. Why can’t we pump water into the Southwest from severely flooded areas in the eastern or southern United States?
