Nearly a third of people living on the Navajo Nation reservation lack electricity and many live without running water, causing a heavy reliance on firewood to get them through the winter. NBC News’ Antonia Hylton reports on how one woman is working with a wood recycling program and creating jobs to keep the Navajo community warm.

The last ghettos in the world. Only the USA had put native people of the occupied and stolen land in the ghetto so they would not disturb the rest of the white invaders.
Perspective for city dwelling electric car owners.
I love this.
Hopefully people with Any trucks & trailers can help out.
Bless Them Our Heavenly Father…
Thanks with Love…
That is absolutely beautiful. But why don't they have a solar and batteries to store the power they get from solar energy. They are in Arizona. They got lots of sunshine.
🚀I'm hoping to retire next year at 55. My goal this year is to be more serious and consistent with my investments. starting to save for a house down payment. I want to invest more than $175k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk…
He joined an organization that stole his land?!?! I'm confused 🤔
Why doesnt the Gov. Of Arizona snd the Leader of the Navaho Reservstion wrk together to help their community. No electricity? No running water , dirt floord. This is 2024. Not the 1900s!!!. GEEZE. All those illegal migrants being given the "red carpet treatment " and we CANT Help our own people??? Our GOD is NOT going to continue to allow his children to suffer. Watch out America. Father God, please continue to bless snd help this wonderful caring lady snd the program she has started. Bless them abundantly!😇☺
Crazy USA still treats original Americans like slaves
The federal government allows 10s of thousands of illegal aliens into the country but won’t fund electricity for native Americans.
Burning wood! How dare they let out all that carbon into the climate. Those indigenous people are literally killing the planet.
No electricity? Pretty Navajo to me why intervene
Go Strong Beautiful Ladies 💪🙏
Burning wood contributes to climate change.
Imagine being a marine as a minority, fighting for this country's imperial wars, and then not considered American and considered as a second-class citizen and pariah in the nation that was once theirs. Why would this elder native American fight for this government? Before US tries to criticize other nations for their human rights records at the UN, native Americans should show to the world the conditions that the US forces them to live in. Native Americans do not have a voice in the UN, while US with its humanitarian tears tries to make accusations to other nations.
Say, how's that war on fossil fuels working out for the people who most need cheap, reliable and clean energy?
What, not so well?
Here is what the Biden Admin is doing for us since they're getting rid of gas stoves, fridges, freezers… Firewood. Yep. This is what your taxes are being used for since the steady financial management of Joe, Hunter Biden and the CCP took office.
There's also a program to place ENERGY efficient stoves in homes … you saw the old barrel the man was using as a fireplace.
Native Americans owned slaves for thousands of years.
wow yet we are inviting more people into this country when we aren't even taking care of native americans
Why dont the Navajo have electricity and water… feels like the least the Government could have given them after the yanno, genocide and displacement
