It was surprising at the Summer Council Session how the resigning Council Delegate, the Speaker, and the President all cite to the Christian Bible. Discussing a verse from the bible, the council delegate talked about sitting at the table with his enemies. Is he calling the other council delegates "his enemies"?
President Nez defends Christianity by saying we should respect each other. But Christianity confuses our children. If all Navajos become Christians, then the tribe will be effectively destroyed.
The opening prayer was done by a Dine medicine man. The branch leaders also held a traditional ceremony for the Navajo leadership. They said they will start holding traditional ceremonies for the Navajo leadership periodically. This is a great idea, but aren’t all the branch leaders Christian?
It is time for our Navajo Nation to declare an official religion. A recent foreign one, or one that has defined our ancestors for time immemorial? Our children are confused. How about that?
