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.

By focusing on regenerative organic farming practices (now called carbon farming) and no-till farming, we can sequester atmospheric carbon and start to reverse this dangerous legacy load of carbon in the atmosphere. It s the only real technology that can safely sequester and store carbon at a rate that can make a real difference to help stabilize this planet.
Gianforte Names Fish & Wildlife Board Appointments, More
Governor Greg Gianforte (R-MT) hit the ground running in the last two weeks with major policy change announcements, releasing a budget proposal, and announcing his Cabinet picks.
