#Navajos Warn of Secretive Tribal Government Reform

Dine' Grassroots coalition, "spoke of the #bribes, backdoor deals and tribal government #corruption involved in the tribe's deals with #EnergyCompanies."

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Jan. 27, 2026

"Navajos warned of a secretive Navajo government reform that is underway that would change #Diné life, and silence the voices of the people for generations to come.

"#ChiliYazzie, former #Shiprock Council Delegate and Chapter President, said proposing the government reform as a 'yes or no' question for the Dine' voters on the ballot in 2026 is 'an abuse of our people.' "

NOW: Live #Diné People’s Press Conference on #NavajoGovernment Concerns

Tó Nizhóní Ání

By #ChiliYazzie, #CensoredNews

Contact: chili_yazzie@hotmail.com

"A group of grassroots organizations convened in Dec 2025 to discuss concerns related to the #NavajoNation, these concerns have been formulated into position statements to be presented to the Navajo Nation leadership including the Navajo Nation Council and the Office of the President and Vice President. These positions will be presented at the Press Conference to be held in front of the Navajo Nation Council Chambers on January 27, 2026, at 9 am.

- The proposal to reform the Navajo government drafted by the Office of Navajo Government Development has been analyzed and is found to be replete with foundational issues, we are recommending that the proposal not be presented to the Navajo people as a referendum initiative as proposed by the ONGD

- The proposal by the #Trump administration to expedite natural resources #extraction with little or no #environmental review is a critical concern

- The depletion of the #waters of Navajo lands and the continued lost of water rights must be consciously and deliberately addressed by our Navajo Nation leadership

- The uninhibited incursion by the federal Immigration and Custom Enforcement agency on Indian lands and arrest and abuse of #NativeAmerican citizens is greatly concerning

Diné Grassroots Coalition is a coalition comprised of Diné community members concerned about the state of the Navajo Nation."

The #Diné, their #sheep & a tale of #survival.

Nikyle Begay is a #shepherd, a #weaver, & a member of the Diné tribe. (Diné is the name for the tribe commonly referred to as #Navajo.) While it might be easy to see these as three separate identities, for Nikyle they are inseparable and each aspect informs the other, especially as Nikyle has chosen to raise #NavajoChurroSheep, a breed intrinsically tied to the history of the Diné people in more ways than just a name.

#ICE Terrorizing #Navajo, #Yaqui and #Shawnee in #Arizona and #Oklahoma

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews , Jan. 16, 2026

"ICE is terrorizing #NativeAmericans. A Navajo on his way to work in the #Phoenix Valley was grabbed by ICE on Monday. A #PascuaYaqui tribal member grabbed near #TohonoOodham's San Xavier District, bordering Tucson, reveals how federal agents are terrorizing U.S. citizens and migrants in detention. In Oklahoma, Absentee Shawnee are now being harassed and detained by ICE agents.

"Peter Yazzie, #Dine', was on his way to work in Peoria, in the Phoenix Valley, at 4 a.m., on Monday, when ICE grabbed him, ignoring his tribal ID and the fact that he is a U.S. citizen, reports Arlyssa D. Becenti, at the Arizona Republic.

"Peter Yazzie told ICE agents where they could locate his Certificate of Indian Blood, birth certificate and other documents proving that he was both a #USCitizen and #NativeAmerican. It made no difference. They aggressively placed him in the back of their vehicle and drove away early the morning of Monday, Jan. 12.'

"Yazzie was unaware that ICE was expanding operations throughout Phoenix and surrounding cities. Parked at a QT gas station between Peoria and Sun City near his job site, his morning began as usual, waking at 4 a.m. for his 5 a.m. shift."

"In the 1930s, massive herds were slaughtered without permission... (R)educed from over two million to less than 450 sheep by the 1970s. It's a financial and cultural wound from which the #Navajo people are still recovering. Now, conservation efforts have revived the Navajo Churro."

"Across high seas in wooden galleons, each introduced a genetically distinct breed with origins in various regions of Old Spain. Together, these four distinct breed lines merged to become the renowned Navajo Churro of the southwest."

🏫🏫🏫 Navajo Boarding Schools, some notes.

"When it was time to eat, all the kids (Navajo plus other tribes) had to form a single long line. Each child was identified not by their name, but by a number. Manny was number 59. When called, it meant she was to step forward to take her meal tray..."

#Hydropower Developer No-Show Leaves #Navajos with More Questions than Answers

Chapter officials table hydropower resolution, ask for more community info sessions as FERC seeks to end a policy blocking permits on Tribal land absent Tribal support

by #HerbYazzie, Coal-Lease Area Resident; #AdrianHerder, #TóNizhóníÁní; #TaylorMcKinnon, #CenterForBiologicalDiversity
via #CensoredNews, Nov. 21, 2025

Excerpts: #KayentaAZ— "On a cloudy, rainy Wednesday afternoon, the Kayenta Chapter held its monthly meeting where a resolution by #NatureAndPeopleFirst was first on the agenda. Impacted community members from the coal-lease area on Black Mesa (#DziłYíjiin) filled the chapter house to voice concern about the resolution. But before discussions could begin, Chapter officials tabled the resolution because the developers didn’t show up.

"Nature and People First (#NPF) are developers who are pushing #PumpedStorageHydropower (#PSH) on the #NavajoNation, particularly in the #BlackMesa region. Pumped storage pumps water uphill during low electricity prices and then releases it back downhill through generators when electricity prices are high, producing electricity and revenue. Pumped storage #hydropower, which requires huge amounts of water, is different than hydrogen, which other developers wanted piped across the Nation."

[...]

"#TóNizhóníÁní (#TNA) e-filed comments objecting to #FERC’s proposed policy reversal along with the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, #AmericanRivers and more than a dozen #tribes across the US. 'For decades, #CoalMining on #BlackMesa has not only extracted coal but also billions of gallons of #groundwater to support the #mining operation,' wrote #AdrianHerder with Tó Nizhóní Ání. 'Energy projects that propose to use large amounts of water for #EnergyProduction should be vetted diligently.' Water access and reliability is crucial for our communities on Black Mesa and the southwest region of the United States.

"Tribal communities understand the resources and impacts by industry. Any project that proposes to use groundwater when it has been heavily impacted and in a state of recovery should not be considered for continued industry use."
