Local retired archeologist Sally Crum, who worked on the Navajo Nation reservation for five years, became aware last summer of the harsh impacts the pandemic was having on the Navajo people. A friend of Crum’s told her about members of the Montrose Presbyterian Church taking food and supplies to the Grace Community Church in Chinle, Arizona.
