WÁSHINDOON Amid concerns about COVID-19 and public safety, leaders of the Navajo Nation are establishing a permanent home here to advocate for their tribe’s needs.
The acquisition of a property next to the U.S. Capitol will strengthen the tribe’s lobbying efforts, President Jonathan Nez said on Sunday. He signed a bill, which was approved by the Navajo Nation Council after heated debate, to acquire land and buildings at 11 D Street SE in Wáshindoon, also known as the District of Columbia.
