People did not understand why Land Defendors blocked a uranium truck. Maybe this helps.
Pinyon Plain Mine, Arizona — May 17, 2026 — During a rally at the Pinyon Plain uranium mine in Arizona, land defendors confronted a semi–truck transporting uranium ore. The semi–truck had no uranium ore on board, however the truck was emitting low levels of radiation.
Land defendors blocked both lanes of the highway until law enforcement was dispatched to the area to clear the highway. Checkpoints were also opened on the highway leading to the uranium mine by law enforcement. After the rally was ended, law enforcement and unmarked vehicles were seen entering the site.

I came across a Navajo surname there I like.
After moving to Santa Fe, NM I came across a surname that really caught my attention. It was the name Begay. I happen to be a gay male so I really liked the sound of that name telling me to be what I already am.
Do Relationships have to be approved in tribes?
I found a book in a ski lobby about the American southwest and in it there was a photo of a navajo man whos goal was to bring understanding of the native American culture through the paragraph that was in it. Anyways it said something how relationships had to be approved so it got me wondering how that worked and if anyone never got approved and if things are still that way

Low-key wish we Native ppl were there for him at the time. Like the Black Panthers or something. Isn’t that what AIM was for?

Hello! Are there any good resources for learning and practicing diné bizaad as someone who lives rather far from the Navajo Nation? Either for myself or for my five year old child. Thank you! 😊
