The legislative body of the Navajo Nation Council and I are unified in our opposition to the 10-mile buffer.

The lack of meaningful consultation is deeply concerning.

We are concerned about the future livelihoods of the allottees.

I truly agree with having a transition plan that is equitable, and that plan was never presented.

I just feel like we have to come back to the table.

If you are going to take a job from somebody or money from somebody, you should have a plan to replace it.

Let's talk about it. Let's sit down before we make harsh decisions that will impact people now.

I think one of the things, as I mentioned earlier, is that before we make harsh decisions, we have to make sure there is a plan in place.

No, we weren't heard. Hearing it on the news firsthand as the President of Navajo Nation is, obviously, you are not being heard.

Chaco would not be where it is today if Navajo people didn't live there, didn't protect that, didn't have ceremonies, didn't honor it.

The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project represents a beacon of hope, promising a brighter future for our communities.
