WINDOW ROCK, Arizona (Navajo Nation), December 16, 2020 – The Diné Hataałii Association has released a statement requesting the Navajo Nation leadership to immediately release Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funding that was allocated to its organization. According to the statement, the DHA met twice with the Navajo Department of Health about the CARES Act funding. During a September 30, 2020 meeting the DHA was told that each organization identified in the $2 million agreement would receive $600,000, with the final $200,000 left for those who are not members of spiritual groups. However, since that meeting the DHA has not received any response from multiple inquiries.

Two supervisors leave Navajo County board

Special to the Independent The Navajo County Supervisors said a fond farewell to two members last week, Lee Jack and Jesse Thompson. Both members of the Navajo Nation, Jack and Thompson have long, distinguished records of community service, the soft-spoken courtesy of the Navajo and an abiding commitment to creating links between the residents of the reservation and the rest of the county. The board paused on Tuesday to recognize the deep contributions of Thompson and Jack, who have often set the tone for the supervisors. Their heartfelt opening prayers and invocations, occasional use of Navajo from the dais, frequent expressions of gratitude, a reluctance to confront or criticize and a commitment to constituent service have all set the tone for the convivial board meetings.
