Letters

Challenges include the health of our people through the pandemic and the diminishing levels of current Diné speakers. This language challenge is amplified by the infiltration of Navajo society by external films, foreign video games, and non-Diné social media that is unchecked and seamlessly beamed across reservation borders and onto our children’s phones.

I am a proud member of the largest land retained by the Native American tribe in the United States with a valid census number. I am writing to you in order to raise the issue of the Fiscal Recovery Fund, as well as the American Rescue Plan Act.

This letter is in response to the letter to the editor written by Leon Spencer, Burnham Chapter president (“Setting the record straight,” Sept. 16, 2021).
