Jonathan Nez: “Navajo Nation and many Tribes across the country would like to see Congress pass a Native American Voting Rights Act.”

By passing S. 1895, Congress is honoring Indian treaties, including our Navajo treaty of 1868, and upholding the Federal trust responsibility.

Any laws and regulations that are in place still do not protect my people, the Navajo people, the Pueblo people, the greater Chaco area.

You have the power as lawmakers. You have the shield on your left hand to protect my people and the Pueblo people.

Water is a fundamental need. It provides life, growth, and protection.
