We want our fair to offer entertainment for all Navajos, not just those who enjoy a traditional fair. Megadeth draws huge crowds all over the world, and we're thrilled so many people came out to rock with them here on the Nation.

Recently, I met a baby Navajo boy about the same age as my daughter. His smile lit up my office as I watched him play. The Supreme Court’s decision in the Brackeen v. Haaland case is a victory for the Navajo toddler and all Indigenous children in the United States.

The Navajo Nation thanks Congress for finally passing the RECA amendment that will right a historic wrong for our Navajo uranium miners. For far too long, these hardworking Navajo miners, who fueled America's atomic arsenal, were left behind and denied benefits.

One hundred years ago, our leaders of that time, guided our people of that time. Maybe in another one hundred years, our children’s children will be praising us for the guidance that we provided for them.

I had to honor of meeting with the Honorable Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs while she was in Window Rock. We had a quick, but a great and productive meeting. I look forward to meeting with Gov. Hobbs again and discuss plans that will help our Nation continue progressing forward.

Navajo Nation agency commanders spoke with Congressman Crane during his visit and pushed for VA access and outreach. This is a stepping stone towards greater equity for our Navajo veterans when it comes to VA services and cutting down on travel distances for access.
