SHIPROCK
After missing the first three forums, presidential candidate Kevin Cody took the stage at the Phil L. Thomas Performing Arts Center. He questioned why the Navajo Nation was investing off the reservation and not into its own enterprises.

“I am here and the time is now,” Cody said to the packed auditorium. “Forty years of empty promises. I’ve been able to witness that since the age of eight.”
