Dear Editor,
On Nov. 5, the course of history for the “United States of America” changed. The new Republican GOP leadership will quickly turn the federal government into no man’s land and replace the vacuum with Donald Trump loyalists who have two (online) manifestos that lead to the end of Democracy. Read them and learn your place. “Native Americans” have no place but are at the forefront in energy extraction.
In the last 60 days of Joe Biden’s presidency, these are things he can do while he is still POTUS:
1. Grant Clemency to Leonard Peltier immediately Commute death row federal prisoners to life sentences and avoid another Donald Trump execution spree. Address the need...

Letter to the Editor: Apologizing for sins
Dear Editor, President Joe Biden visited Arizona on Oct. 25 to apologize for the "sin" of U.S. Boarding School Policy. I’m certainly glad someone in the government did this. I am not Native, but I have friends who I know still suffer from this horrible policy.
His apology brings to mind several other things for which he could and should apologize. He could apologize to the U.S. troops, both living and dead, that were called to a war in Vietnam based on the false Domino Theory pushed by our Foreign Policy establishment.
In addition, he should certainly also extend an apology to the troops sent to Iraq based on the false claim that Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons. Former Sen...
Letter to the Editor: Only the Creator decides who lives and who dies
Dear Editor,
I live on the Navajo Nation. I am not Navajo. I am not Native American. However, I love the Diné. Diné are beautiful. Diné Bizaad is a beautiful language. I truly wish I could speak it fluently. I only know a few words.
The Navajo Nation has been my home for over 23 years. My family and I have lived in Fort Defiance, Ariz. for over 10 years. Some of you reading this may be thinking that I need to leave and that you don’t need someone like me here. I respect your opinion. I also hope that if we could sit down together, listen to each other, and you could hear my heart, that your opinion about me would change for the good.
I am writing out of concern for our...

Letter to the Editor: We need a healthcare system that values patients over profits
Dear Editor,
As a mother whose first-born daughter lives with a severe brain injury due to medical negligence, I’ve seen firsthand the immense costs of lifelong medical care. In 2013, my daughter suffered brain damage during her delivery because a hospital’s medication protocols were not followed. Thanks to the justice my family received, we’ve been able to afford the extensive, and expensive care she requires daily, for the rest of her life. But not every family is so fortunate. That’s why I can’t stand reading what’s been published blaming patients and their attorneys for driving healthcare providers out of New Mexico.
In fact, New Mexico’s Legislative Finance...
