Happy Treaty Day

On this day, June 1, 1868, Navajo Naat'áanii signed a treaty with United States. All the enemies were against us, and they did their best to remove us from this earth. However, by the nahat'á, sacrifice and tsodizin of our beloved zází, we survived; we came home. We are the fruition of their dream. It is a gift to exist, to experience this beautiful earth as a Navajo. We have unique thought and language, and the gods (holy people) love us for it. We are their holy child and their holy grandchild. Take this day to love your life, love your loved ones, be kind, and appreciate the sacrifices of our ancestors. For the benediction of our prayer has become: Shí lá yiisdziih! (Behold, I am alive!)

Super El Nino and Hantavirus

Be vigilant and take precautions. This year, we are expected to get a super El Nino weather pattern (increased rainfalls above normal El Nino). Increased rainfalls triggered the 1993 hantavirus outbreak on the Navajo rez (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Four_Corners_hantavirus_outbreak). Already this year, I have noticed an increase in mouse population.

Hantavirus outbreak has already occurred on a cruise ship that docked in Argentina, and several states are monitoring for hantavirus infections. So take care and protect yourselves.
