Jamie Lynette Yazzie’s Aunt Marilene James and Sister Elaina Denny hug outside the Sandra Day O'Connor Courthouse after the sentencing of the man responsible for Yazzie’s death. He was sentenced to life in prison for first-degree murder. The outcome is what the family hoped for.

Navajo Code Talker John Kinsel, Sr. passed away peacefully at his home in Lukachukai. He was 107. In 2019, I was lucky enough to hear and share John Kinsel's story. I truly enjoyed the time I spent with him. He was a fantastic person, and I send my condolences to his family.

I thought about my dad all day. This was more than a presidential visit. It was a moment in history that many Indigenous people had never thought would happen. So much still needs to be done for Tribal Nations, but many recognize this step forward. azmirror.com/2024/10/25/too…

My 17-year-old, 6-foot Navajo son got his city bus pass last week. He's excited to use it. I was excited for him until I had to tell him why he needed to start carrying his Certificate of Indian Blood (CIB) in his wallet. azmirror.com/2025/01/24/rep…

A few months ago, I traveled the route that the uranium ore from the Pinyon Plain Mine near the Grand Canyon will travel along to the country's only operating uranium mill in Utah. Stories from that trip will publish every day this week. Here is the first: azmirror.com/2025/01/27/ura…
