On behalf of his family, it is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of Jeff Beck’s passing. After suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis, he peacefully passed away yesterday. His family ask for privacy while they process this tremendous loss.
During the Tuba City Fair aka Western Agency Navajo Nation Fair, I walked in my first fashion show. It was a fun experience, got introduced as Chizh Man and I gave the crowd 100 DVDs of my latest movie. There wasn’t enough for everyone but we all had a good time.
@hwinkler4real Wow! Oppression is a crippling attitude disease of those who feel entitled and fail to see that everyone including them seeks the same things. To be respected, valued and loved. How sad to see such a lack of acceptance, compassion and sense of value for humanity.
26 volunteers, 200 loads of free firewood distributed to those in need. Despite the heat, we put in some good. Wood is used for ceremony, cooking and heating… 70% of our people live without the amenities that the rest of the nation is common with. #ChizhForCheii#NavajoNation
Making an impact from the Navajo Nation and beyond. Chizh For Cheii isn’t an Native led organization, Chizh For Cheii is a moment of love. Our team puts K’é (kinship) into action. This is my past 3 days. Sorry internet sucks on the rez, otherwise I’d do better with my updates.
Today’s the big CFC firewood distribution day. We’re giving out water, blankets and supplies with every load. Gonna be a good day for our Navajo and Hopi elders, single parents and communities #skoden#NavajoNation#ChizhForCheii
Following today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision in Oklahoma v. Castro Huerta, leaders of the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes issued the following joint statement:
Against hundreds of years of congressional action, against solid #SCOTUS precedent, and hundreds of years of history, the Supreme Court held today that states have jurisdiction over certain crimes in Indian Country by judicial fiat. A devastating result for our democracy.
