  1. The government should be ashamed .

  2. Republicans trumps fault get rid of it

  3. What do yall thinks gonna happen when China starts mining all our land they bought so go preach to Clinton and biden

  4. Call china since they own all the farm land and land around bases

  5. The tribe in Alaska just got veoted by Biden so 💅

  6. How much is Clinton paying to use the Navajo community right now 💅 cause yall need to look into those missing Navajo women and kids

  7. Talking about Uranium right now is like trying to tour Uranus

  8. Lets talk about these aids now since its national aids day. Or what about this Covid

  9. The media doesn't wanna go here with me while censoring Bidens dirty laptop 💅

  10. Sadly no one gives a damn. Another government cover up

  11. Man, this land is trashed on

  12. Navajo nation is not ‘a group’ for goodness sake. The Navajo are a sovereign nation whose lands Americans have stolen in defiance of the rule of law & in defiance of human rights. Good grief.

  13. How did the "checker-board" property ownership issue begin in the first place?
    Was it always that way when the Reservation boundaries were first created?
    Or,
    Was it originally Navajo Reservation land that they lost control of/sold off?
    Interestingly enough, the news story has left out this crucial piece of information.

  14. I’m not a Native American, but if I was I’d certainly have my reservations.
