Letter: Navajo Nation displays community values
(Leah Hogsten | Tribune file photo) Signs reminding residents and visitors that masks are required are posted throughout Navajo Mountain on Aug., 25, 2020. Much of the Navajo Nation has been closed since March after the coronavirus swept through the vast reservation that extends into New Mexico, Utah and Arizona.
What a beautiful yet overwhelming description of how the Navajo Nation is dealing with the awful COVID-19 by Zak Podmore. The San Juan County Indigenous people of the Navajo Nation are displaying profound love and showing the necessity of community welfare over individual wants. This commitment and attitude should be copied by other communities. All the best to these givers and helpers.
