LECHEE, Ariz. - Yee Ha’ólníi Doo (Navajo and Hopi Solidarity) received a historic $2 million grant from the Arizona Department of Housing State Housing Trust Funds (HTF). This marks the first-ever HTF allocation directly to a nonprofit and aims to address the critical need for safe and healthy housing on the Navajo Nation.
Yee Ha’ólníi Doo marked the Winter Solstice with a two-day cultural celebration held Dec. 21-22 at the Tsé Bii’ Ndzisgai Community Center in Monument Valley. For Diné, the winter season ushers in a time of storytelling, games, and teaching that emphasize culture, language and kinship.
