TOURISM TUESDAY
Tsiiłchin Biiʼ Tó, "Home of the World's Largest Rug," is a massive loom 38-by-25 feet hand-woven Navajo Rug. 10 Navajo weavers from the community embarked on creating the world's largest Navajo rug; the task commenced in 1977 and was finalized in 1979. For more information, you may visit:

"Who will help me?"
On Saturday, February 27th, 2022 This was sent to the editor of the Tri-City Herald newspaper by one of the victims who is 16 years old. However, I cannot find that it was published so I am posting it here, and anywhere that I can to get it seen:
"Dear Editor, My name is Sandrea Lagunas, I am resident of Benton County, Washington. I write to you because all efforts have been exhausted, I am taking a stand to protect my siblings and myself, but I cannot do it alone. The legal litigation between my parents has been ongoing since 2006 and for my brothers since 2014 in Colville and now, Spokane, Washington. I knew my situation was bad and when I took a stand for myself, I saw that I wasn't the only one being harmed. My parenting plan created for my best interest has been used as a weapon to cause multiple harms and my 5th and 14th amendment denied. There has been court litigation over 400 times ongoing in one case, at least 60 reports to CPS overall. No one is truly listening to children living within this situation. There is unnecessary harm with lifelong consequences. I ask, to rally for justice from my community, to help a broken system not be broken. Help me stand up, to the oppression and for my fundamental rights as a person for life, liberty, and happiness, because it matters. Who will help me?"
"BECOMING THE HOST OF OUR OWN STORY"
Kayenta, Ariz. Thursday, March 10, 2022. Try-City Meeting at Kayenta Township.
"The purpose of the meeting was to get the Tri-City Tourism group back on track and get more motivation," says Donovan Hanley, Legislative Staff Assistant, Navajo Nation Council.
The Tri-City group has been holding sessions via virtual meetings and today was the first time some of the group met in person at Kayenta Township Townhall. Leaders from Kayenta and Chilchinbito Chapters, Navajo Special Diabetes, and Navajo Nation Economic Development met to discuss furthering the Tri-City Tourism group and begin strategizing and implementing plans for tourism activities in the Tri-City communities. The Tri-City Tourism group consists of Kayenta Chapter, Chilchinbito, Dennehotso, and Kayenta Township, all working together on separate tasks but same goals.
"The Speaker of the Navajo Nation is a major champion for tourism and supports all the communities, and their efforts in collaboration with Delegate Brown and getting the Tri-City Tourism group back on its feet. We took a significant pounding from Covid. Things were being made and moved before Covid and after Covid, and we are getting realigned and more motivated. It's like preaching to the choir, but we got everyone moving forward like everyone has marching orders. If they need support, we can reach out and help." said Hanley.
Why Tourism Matters, it drives economy: Tourism is one of the driving economic forces to the Navajo Nation. It creates jobs across Navajo land and increases our tax revenues.
Kayenta is a high tourism area, and the community places itself as a hub for tourism activities. In 2019, the Tri-City was established as a focus group for the region. It lacked young entrepreneurs; that is what was needed; In theory, the group efforts were to move the idea back to basics, and training was required, especially customer service. There was enough economic data to begin forging ahead to create a concrete plan for the three communities within several years.
Tri-City Tourism was designed to motivate and increase revenues and tourism dollars to the communities. The goals are to seek more participants to solidify the tourism efforts in the Tri-City area.
If you are interested in learning more about tourism plans, please call Kayenta Township at 928.697.8451.

No Vote... No Freedom by Gregory St. James Mundy
If Black people’s freedom is not to be decided by the halls of Congress, then it must be decided on the streets of America. Just like what we had to do in the 1960s, it is time now for Black people to rise up again and take it to the streets! We are not going back to Slavery!
God said to Nat Turner after he had been whipped half to death... "A person can only be a slave if he allows himself to be one. After that Nat Turner rose up and started killing his slave masters. If Black people allow the white racists in Congress to take away their voting rights, they have only themselves to blame.
Black people must march, protest, boycott, or whatever, to stop their rights from being taken, by using any means necessary. Just like back in the 1960s when Martin Luther King and Stokely Carmichael fought for the same things that we are fighting for today.
I say to all Black people, if you have no vote, you have no voice. If you have no voice, you have no rights. If you have no rights, you have no freedom. When you have no freedom, you are not a citizen of America, but only a slave in America.
I say to all Black people you must always remember. Freedom is not something that is given, but something that must always be fought for, so it is not taken! Gregory St. James Mundy
Autry Lomahongva moved to Leadville, Colorado from his hometown of Kayenta, Arizona to study outdoor recreation leadership. He’s also an athlete, running for the CMC Eagles cross country running team.
Colorado Mountain College Leadville, located at over 10,000 feet above sea level, is the highest elevation college campus in the nation. This unique location is an excellent place for runners like Autry to live, study, and train.
Autry is passionate about bringing diversity, equity, and inclusion to the outdoor industry. He plans to return to where he grew up after graduation to inspire others to get outside and explore.

Why waste money, time, occupy and spoil big natural areas, but never supply enough electricity for global consumption (22000Twh). I invented an integrated wind farm system; “WIND TOWER COMPLEX”. And published on uspto.gov AppFT; app# 20210017956, title “wind tower complex”. It is able to supply more than enough electricity and energy for the whole World (over 160000 Twh). My invention is very simple and simply follows Gordon Moore’s Law. It is an 8000 sq. meter 40 storey building, installed with 30000 40KW wind turbines, total with 1.2 GW capacity. The first 10 floors act as individual towers for all wind turbines, saving big money and space to construct individual towers. And create 10 times useful areas. The other 30 floors are divided into three sections, for easy management. Each floor is installed with 1000 of my special design wind turbines. My wind turbine only has 3 parts, one 1 X 3 meter spiral rotor, and two 20KW alternators, with easy plug and socket connection, this is an improvement of the popular vertical axis wind turbines on the market most sell under 1000 dollars, and similar to Oy Windside production LTD WS-30 wind turbine. Our wind turbines estimate about 2000 dollars each. 30 floors will install 30000 wind turbines. Total 1.2 GW, and with the idea and experience of “small turbines can outperform conventional wind farms” it can reach 85% efficient, that is 1.02 Gwh. Within 2 years of construction, one year will produce 8935.2 Gwh. assume 2cents/Kwh one year will make 179 million dollars, more than the total cost of one WIND TOWER COMPLEX, almost without spending any money, and our system is included electrolysis system, able turns excess and extra electricity into Hydrogen and Oxygen, compress into gas, liquid and solid forms for easy storage and transportation export for income. And able turns Hydrogen into Blue Gas, Natural Gas and Gasoline to support conventional fuels. Because it is almost without spending and without occupying any areas, more are without any limits! Gradually reduce and replace all fossil fuels and inefficiency power production systems. To build a sustainable future for better living in a very short time. Because I can’t do it all by myself! Looking for a little bit of political, financial and technical support. More detailed descriptions are available, interested please contact
