Update: The Navajo government approved $24 million from its federal relief funds for casinos in August. There is no uniform delivery of food and water to Navajos in quarantine. There is no visiting health care for the sick and dying sent home by hospitals to quarantine. The Navajo government received $714 million in federal CARES Act virus relief funds three months ago and the most desperate are not receiving help.

Navajos are desperate for water and food, reports a Navajo journalist. Meanwhile, $650 million in federal coronavirus relief funds are delayed in the tribal government appropriation process. The Navajo Nation Council wants $24 million from the virus relief funds for casinos.

It is now the sixth month of the pandemic on the Navajo Nation and there is no plan in place to deliver emergency food and water to those sick with the virus and in quarantine at home.

Navajo and Hopi volunteers never give up as the sixth month of the pandemic approaches

Mercury Bitsuie, joined by his Uncle Andy Dann was in Sanders, Arizona, delivering relief to his community. "Delivering food and supplies in my community today. Have a wonderful day," Mercury said, after getting his vehicle running again and back on the road. Mercury and Uncle Andy Dann are among the Dine' volunteers raising their own funds and delivering to their families, relatives and communities.
