Meanwhile, outside the Council chamber, a growing number of young Navajos are demonstrating against the recent bombing of Palestine by the Israelies, which according to international news reports, has killed more than 200 civilians and children. Yesterday, four Palestinian children, all siblings, were playing on a beach when a Israelie bomb killed all of them.
It’s now 11:24 a.m. and still no quorum. The proposed NAABI AGENDA once again includes Delegate Jonathan Nez’s LEGISLATION 0123-14: which would refer a referendum to the Navajo people for a vote on amending Navajo law that remove the Navajo Council as the governing body of the Navajo Nation and replace it with the Navajo people as the governing body of the Navajo Nation.
