Yesterday we greeted the summer solstice at Sunset Crater and walked 16 miles along highway 89 Wupatki turn off where we started up again this morning. 

These transmission lines start at Navajo Generating Station and carry power to the Central Arizona Project in southern Arizona, they pass over many Diné communities that lack electricity. We are reminded of the Naayee (monsters) that suck life from the land and people. If we want to remain as our original selves, Five-Fingered-Earth-Surface-Holy People, we CANNOT continue to supply the empire with power. Enough is enough!

Update June 23, 2015: Today we will be walking from Grey Mountain to Cameron on the OLD 89. We are relieved to get off the main stretch of road because people drive extremely fast. Please slow down for people who are hitchhiking or walking on the side of the roads out there. Look for us on old 89 today, stop by and say YÁ'ÁT'ÉÉH!

Supplies Needed

We have decided that we will walk early in the morning and in the evening when it is cooler. During the hottest time of the day, 1 pm-4 pm we will set up canopies off to the side of the road and will have information available to those who stop by. TODAY & TOMORROW: we are camping at the Peshlakai residence in Cameron.

Things we need:
Support vehicle (truck)
Fresh produce
55 gallon barrel for drinking water
Canopies for shade during the day
Cargo nets
Moccasin repairing supplies: needle, sinew, and leather for sole

We are practicing being critical of our consumption and how much waste we make. For example, everyone is using donated water canteens that eliminate the need for bottled water. This is why it is important for us to acquire a water barrel! Any of these items can be in used condition, we prefer that they are so we can continue protecting our mother, Nahaszdaan!

We appreciated your support.
