WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. Navajo veterans of all branches, the Code Talkers, and the 248th U.S. Marine Corps Birthday were honored at a proclamation signing at Window Rock Veterans Memorial Park on Veterans Day, Nov. 11.
FARMINGTON Tribal parks, monuments and recreation areas maintained by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department remain closed to the public, including to tribal members, because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Department officials stated in a press release this week that such areas will remain off limits after reviewing the public health emergency order issued on April 22 and determining the reopening of parks does not apply to those under their management.
Public Health Emergency Order No. 2021-009 was issued by the Navajo Department of Health. It elevated the tribe to yellow status under its reopening plan and set occupancy limits for businesses, including those identified as marinas and parks.
