Navajo Volunteers Race with Water and Food, as Governments Fail During the Pandemic

Censored News. June 18, 2020. By Brenda Norrell.

When a young Dine’ man asked if anyone needed water and supplies, there were more than 100 responses. They are the blind, those without water, and those in hogans without phones. They are the young people living in tents in quarantine, they are the families living in tents. They are Navajo and Hopi. They live on Navajo and Hopi tribal lands and in the border regions.

Ashkii Abini Naatsiilid Wilson asked, “Does anyone know of families who are in need of food or water? We have 55 galloon barrels that we can bring and fill up with water. We also have food, PPE, and cleaning supplies. Just want to make sure everyone is being helped!”
