We will be visiting with Kris Barney as he shares about the Navajo Hopi Little Colorado Water Settlement and what we can do to help.

FROM KRIS:
““We want to see you have a voice in the settlement”– Ben Shelly….

IF WE HAVE A VOICE…then let people talk at the meetings!!! Where is our voice? If anyone talks against it, they are told to”respect”while our future is being destroyed by our corrupt leaders! If people get upset, that darn moderator says”respect!”She is a sell out!!!! She is probably paid off. But did our leader respect us in Tuba City? NO! HE YELLED! THEN HE LIED! He says he wants to listen, but WHEN is that going to happen???????? THEY ARE NOT LISTENING NOW….not at all. Listening is not happening in the Town-hall meetings — that’s for sure!!!!!! WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO HEAR US? WHEN CAN THE PEOPLE TALK? When are they going to allow FREE SPEECH?!?!?!?! Since when did the Navajo Nation government start to censor FREE SPEECH? Since when was that apart of Navajo custom is LIMIT FREE SPEECH? Since when is it apart of Navajo custom to minimize the young people and not let them talk? Since when it is apart of Navajo custom to ignore our elders pleas? BEN SHELLY IS A SELL OUT, he is not a LEADER, a real LEADER would never sell out his people, his own grandchildren, and our hope at moving forward towards progress. A real leader would have nothing to hide and would be encouraging his people to participate. TRULY participate, not just to tell people to come to meetings and then forced to be held silent for hours while propaganda is presented. This article makes the people in the audience sound disrespectful.. …but if you were really there, you would see the truth! The youth snickered because they are smart enough to see through this!!!!!!! They are appalled at what our leadership is doing, and they should be! The Navajo people need to start being SHEEPHERDERS… ..NOT SHEEP. We need not to follow blindly a corrupt leader, we need to lead!!!!!!!!!!! !! We need to know the ins and outs of our surroundings, we need to understand our environment, we need to know how to navigate through these issues!!!!!!! UNITY against SB 2109!!!!!!!!! Stand up and be heard!
