I am including links to various places so you can learn more about the Navajo people and the issues that face them today. I care very deeply about the people here, and their struggle to live in the 20th. Not an easy chore. Many people don't realize that many many families on the Rez don't have electricity, or running water. Many Families haul water in 55 gallon drums from the closest town, and use kerosene lamps to light their homes.
Some families have bought themselves generators, so they have DC current in their homes.
While I know of a few families who choose not to have electricity, this is after all 1999, and one would think that we would be able to offer water and electricity to all of the Rez's inhabitants.
