    Harris/Walz campaign staffers brutalized Diné at Navajo Nation capitol

    Vice presidential candidate for the Democratic Party and Minnesota governor Tim Walz stopped in Window Rock, AZ where snipers lined the monument and three Diné citizens were brutalized by his staffers during the Harris/Walz campaign stop. Navajo Nation president Buu Nygren announced the public event the day before, 10 days before the general election.  While standing in the crowd, a Diné woman was continuously harassed by authorities and attacked by a Walz staffer, while another Diné man was brutalized and arrested. Meanwhile, Buu Nygren, President of the Navajo Nation, was getting heckled about his missing Vice President and another woman chanting for Trump in the crowd.  It was clear that campaign staffers weren’t clamping down on "disruptors", rather,  they were targeting Diné people--on their own homelands--policing anyone who supports Palestine. In this episode, Justine hosts Janene, Kiley, and Koi as they recount their violent removals from the event, and their analyses of Navajo Nation Police, the widespread acceptance of genocide in the  Democratic Party, and the blatant disregard for tribal sovereignty during the U.S. presidential elections.

    Breaking news in Tuba City, AZ

    TRIGGER WARNING: sexual assault September 30, 2024 – Parents of youth attending Tuba City Boarding School organized a community gathering and rally outside the Navajo Police Department to demand justice and answers. Every Child Matters –  Community Rally in Tuba City, AZ September 30, 2024 – Parents of youth attending Tuba City Boarding School organized a community gathering and rally outside the Navajo Police Department to demand justice and answers. On September 24, a sixth-grade male teacher was arrested at the school for public sexual indecency after evidence of him masturbating in a classroom was collected by students. An act that had been happening for years. The perpetrator was released approximately 18 hours later, and the students’ families have not been able to receive further details of the investigation.  The timing of the incident and rally happened to line up with National Day for Truth and Reconciliation- a national holiday in Canada honoring Indigenous students who never returned home from boarding school and survivors of residential schools. The incident happened at a Bureau of Indian Education boarding school, establishing that these incidents are ongoing and not of the past.  These are their demands: Support from the 25th Navajo Nation Council to support a request from families to the BIE demanding a full-scale investigation into the Tuba City Boarding School system to address the misconduct and failures in the school system and provide answers and justice for our children. Accountability from all identified faculty and administration personnel that knew about the abuse, failed to report it or investigate it, and allowed it to continue. Federal charges for the perpetrator to ensure the teacher is held responsible for the harm caused to the students, families, and greater community. Comprehensive solutions to protect every child to ensure their safety. Mental health support for all students and parents affected by this traumatic event. Request a joint session between the HEHSC and Law and Order committees of the Navajo Nation council to hear from the families directly, and work alongside respective Navajo Nation departments for justice. Tracklist: Justine Teba/podcast episode introduction, Starlena Nez/rally opening, KL Chino/interview, Starlena Nez/interview, Kaly Arvizu/interview, Demetrius Johnson/interview, Bijiibah Begaye & KL Chino/rally closing The Red Nation was live-streaming the rally on our YouTube channel, please subscribe for future live streams.
