    The Navajo and Hopi Families Relief FundCH’ÍHOOTSOOÍ, DINÉTAH (Window Rock, Navajo Nation) (October 1, 2021) – On September 15, Yee Ha’ólníi Doo strengthened the resiliency of Navajo and Hopi communities with the creation of a secondary fundraiser that focuses on long-term sustainability work.

    The organization, born from the immediate need for direct relief seen at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, has transitioned to organizing more long-term sustainability initiatives. In order to strengthen Navajo and Hopi communities, the group plans to use a new GoFundMe campaign solely dedicated toward the establishment of community centers across the Navajo Nation.

    Within the first two months of its soft opening, the Tsé Bii' Ndzisgaii Community Center has served over 233 community members by providing them with free critical resources like a library, computers, fax machines, Wi-Fi, and shared conference room spaces.

    “Yee Ha’ólníi Doo’s primary goal is to ensure the survivability of our people. We seek to fulfill this goal by ensuring reliable access to healthy food, bolstering the mental and emotional strength of our people, and supporting the creation of better, more human-centered systems that enable all in our communities to thrive,” said Interim Executive Director Ethel Branch.

    Through these community centers, Yee Ha’ólníi Doo hopes to continue the beautiful movement that began with the incredible volunteer leaders who stepped forward to help protect our communities from the threat of COVID-19. Fostering the rise of these local changemakers and problem solvers will continue with the new fundraising campaign.

    Titled “Navajo & Hopi Resiliency Fund,” this campaign will focus on the creation of innovation hubs designed to foster the social and small business entrepreneurship that has always existed in Navajo and Hopi communities but has long lacked adequate support and resources to flourish.

    Many positive effects have been seen by the community in Monument Valley and Oljato since the soft-opening of Yee Ha’ólníi Doo’s inaugural Tsé Bii’ Ndzisgaii Community Center. Over its first two months of operation, over 230 community members have made use of the Center’s resources. The most popular space is the business center, which provides community members with free access to computers, wifi, and machines with faxing, printing, and copying capabilities. The Center also includes a shared workspace, conference room, classroom, and library, and will serve as a guide for future hubs.

    Programs and events held in these hubs will center on subjects like food security, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, youth leadership, traditional knowledge, and fluency in Indigenous languages.

    These centers will nourish and rebuild Navajo and Hopi communities, making them pandemic-proof and climate change resilient for the benefit of future generations.

    Please join us in transforming our communities at the local level by making a donation towards the funding and development of more of these innovation hubs!

    Baby Boomer Hippies
    Baby Boomer Blues
    By Tommy Acosta
    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
