Dine' speaking out about $2 billion in COVID federal virus funds and priorities.
"It is our duty to call them out," Dine' say, pointing out that the Navajo Nation Council must be held accountable for the $2 billion in federal virus funds that were received. "Let's not send one penny back." Dine' point out that Dine' did not have access to water to wash their hands to protect themselves as the virus spread.
Dine' said the virus is spreading because homes are overcrowded, with two or more families living in one home.
