Letter to the Editor: Area pollution claims explored

Nearly four million die every year from indoor pollutants, largely from indoor cook stove fuels like wood, coal and cow dung. The pollutant...
Letter to the Editor: Examining the Navajo Housing Authority crisis
March 6, 2017I have been thinking very hard about whether I should talk about the NHA situation. My Dad [Rex T. Kontz] used to say “Richard you need to understand: in Tribal government and politics the people with power can’t stand the truth, the truth hurts too much”. He also said: “you can’t expect people to really trust you if you don’t tell the truth”. So, with those thoughts in mind, I will say the following.
As pointed out by the press NHA has received over $1.5 billion since 1998 in NAHASDA grants to provide Indian housing on the Navajo Nation. These funds were to manage existing public housing projects, the mutual help housing program and to develop...

Why the BOE placed Chiapetti on administrative leave
The Board of Education placed Superintendent Frank Chiapetti on administrative leave with pay for the remainder of his employment with the Board of Education. The Board of Education will honor his current employment contract, but the Board has determined that it can no longer work as a team with its employee to govern and operate the School District.
After more than a year of attempting to work out our differences and attempting to supervise and communicate with Mr. Chiapetti, the Board of Education has come to the point in its evaluation of that employer-employee relationship that it no longer has trust nor confidence in him to work with the Board of Education in the manner necessary...

Letter to the Editor: The need to educate is clear
Editor,
Winter is in full effect at Standing Rock North Dakota. The Water Protectors at Oceti Sakowin are working tirelessly to create temporary homes for the thousands of elders, families and Water Protectors there willing to freeze rather than abandon this sacred land and our plight for our planet. They have been working tirelessly to ensure everyone’s safety but as their numbers grow, so do their needs.
Oceti Sakowin Camp is the main camp of 6,000+ people with over 100 Dine’ (Navajo) at the NoDAPL front lines it is fitting that the Navajo Nation take a stand with the Water Protectors and call upon the Obama administration to intervene before January 20th, 2017 while the Navajo...
