Dang how greedy are us Navajos always say this land is sacred but don't even respect Pueblo land and keep taking their land. We not even supposed to go to Chaco Canyon because of what ever bad happen to the people there might still be there.
I agree. It is sad.
So true.
What land was took from them?this is where the federal government drew the boundaries.
@@bruno_no4547 sounds like you know all that wrong with the navajo.stay there
@@chile19275 haha true. pueblos are dear brothers though we should really think about this.
Chaco canyon was once the home of Nahwiłbihi (greed, enslaver) ..He was a person from the south. He was a “king” of sorts that enslaved all local indigenous groups through trickery. Although he was booted out, it was foretold that once Diné veer off our spiritual path, he would come back! That’s what happening now! Greed has overtaken us vs. being good stewards to the land …smh 😢
Janene Yazzie Doesn't Care. She makes Money off this.
I reserve all of my rights without prejudice, without recourse for eternity. Watch out for lithium evaporation ponds this is called their new "white gold" bad for the environment and wastes five hundred thousand gallons of water per metric ton. Gets in the air, water and soil. No money is worth this sludge. Green energy for them is just money in their pockets they don't care about the earth or the people. Take care. Aniyunwiya wado🪶🤍

Navajo do nothing.
Except beg
-COMANCHE NATION
many Navajo landowners have defended Chaco Canyon from oil & gas companies since WWII when the US started illegal uranium mining. the landowners are persistent on letting the US government know that the entire area is not to be touched. not a 10 mile radius, & not just the ruins.
this has always been a conflict between Navajos, Pueblos, & Hopis.
That's because the Navajo don't belong on those lands.
They were given those lands by the whites for assistance in destroying other Tribal Nations
-COMANCHE NATION
yeah that BIG DC MONEY can change your culture real quick.
Urban native vs.Grassroot native
Everything is sacred, until it cost them some cash !
This seems like it is less about a sacred site being protected and respected and more about some of the Navajo landowners not being able to get paid for the oil and gas that won't be extracted from around Chaco. That's mighty White of them.
Do not Slander the White Tribes of The Great Spirit..HE takes no pleasure in hatred and fools.. No matter the color of his children..
Did you know there was an oil spill on the land?
@@user-oh3yr5dj5y I'd heard something had happened. I'm sure it's happened before too, even if it was kept quiet or was just a "small" spill. When people extract oil or natural gas oil spills tend to happen; along with spilling fraking slurry and any variety of other minor spills and dumps that happen by clumsy crews on active well sites. The industry files it under The Cost of Doing Business whenever they can (until someone dies).
Navajos don’t care about the Chaco canyon ruins. It’s crazy that it’s being protected. People need to learn the truth. If they’re gonna protect Chaco canyon they need to protect the old slave plantations. The landowners mineral rights are caught in that 10 mile radius, so they have a right to be mad.
I'm 100 💯% native american apache mescalero chaco canyon is beautiful no need a make money off that precious land its God given land
Leave Sacred places Sacred.
I’m ashamed. Where is the conversation about helping children and adults on remote impoverished reservations. And why wasn’t a group of both sides assembled and able to have a public discussion and input into the decision? Ugly.
If we're choosing between protecting the land and protecting profits, I'm all for protecting the land.
Water is already contaminated what there to protect LoL they need new highway made
@the_stagnant ...you think your protecting the land. But Jeanene Yazzie got Paid off this decision while everyone else stands around with empty pockets.
@@bruno_no4547
I’ve been in and out of Navajo Nation land for years. IF THE NAVAJO CARED ANYTHING ABOUT THEIR LAND, THEY WOULD PICK UP ALL THE BROKEN BOTTLES AND TRASH ALONG THEIR ROADS!!!
I stand to protect Chaco canyon. No oil and gas drilling.
Lol
You think your opinion matters 😂😂😂
Guess who's not coming to feast this year. 😕
Did you know when you invite Navajo to the feast day they always bring Tupperware........greedy peoples
They also buy cookies and bread from them.
...and they like to steal and throw there trash all over..walk in beauty? 😆
What the tribal police do when they are stealing and trashing the place.
🤦🤣
Can someone explain this to me what is happening? Why are those people mad? I read something about they can't drill for oil within a 10-mile radius for 20 years of the actual chaco canyon and ruins. The mean old navajo lady chased off visitors from chaco and blocked the road. They want money or land? Or are they just uneducated?or is she mad that when she passes her kids and grandkids wont have the land after the 20 years expires? 🤷♂️ isn't new mexico more Pueblo territory? Isn't arizona more for navajos? Please someone explain
Nothing to explain. Its all about money. They will sell every acre if given enough dough.
Hypocrites.
How many days do want to listen to the truth. Hopi and Pueblo ppl are the true stewards of all that land in the Four corners area. Dine' (Navajo) are late comers to AZ and NM. They really have no ownership to that land whether they want to believe that they do. You can talk to any Hopi elder and he will tell how this all came to be now.
@@terencecee.907 Doesnt matter. All tribes are controlled by money.
Handouts did for them what welfare dud to the blacks.
It's simple, they're uneducated. If look at the comments here, there's a lot of uneducated simpletons here as well. It's easy to blame the neighbors, but they rely on what the white people has taught them, to be racist and arrogant.
An "over educated" Navajo in Window Rock,Az. lied to these people, telling them money was more important for the tribe, it's actually for the "over educated" idiots in Window Rock, Az. just like Washington
What's ironic about this is they title this as if the Navajo supporters are "landowners".. actually, they don't own anything. The treaties itself explain this, the members of the tribe are considered 'stewards of the land'. No member actually owns the land in the sense that one holds a deed, these tribal members are able to own a homesite lease. Or in many cases, a grazing permit. These leases does not entitle ownership. When and if an oil company comes onto tribal lands, it deals with the tribal government. 99% of the profits are for the benefit of the oil company, tribal government gets a small percentage. The so-called 'landowners' will get crumbs if they are lucky, meaning, they don't actually get any money. MAYBE the tribal government will fix the roof on a chapter house, maybe fix the steps on the community center, fix a few potholes. That's it. Deb Holland is looking beyond a paycheck, she's looking out for the sacred lands that Navajos allegedly hold sacred. Navajos walk in Beauty? Seems a few of them are chasing a rainbow with promises of a paycheck.. its nothing but a mirage.
Sure, Jan.
Here we go, Navajo vs. Pueblos. The USA in the middle of it instigating, destroying everything.
@@francestoddy4368 who said it had to do with Navajos versus Pueblos? misguided statement. If you read the idiotic comments here, it might appear so. The comments are false and misleading. It has to do with protecting the land, and for once in our lifetime, a Native is in office to make it happen.
Actually this part of New Mexico is referred to as a checkaboard area.There is Navajo reservation tribal trust land but there is also lots and lots of Indian allotted lands. Indian allotted lands are owned by the allottees that are protesting. They own the minerals as well.There is no title so the land can't be sold but they fully control what occurs on the surface and fully own the minerals.
@@19erik74 They own the minerals no deeper than 6 feet. Last I heard oil is deeper than 6ft. The Chaco Canyon area where they plan to drill not located in checkerboard.
Her new home is in Washington
Drilling needs to stop
Navajo nation were our own nation wth is she doin there, we have our own law, plus she under investigation with the Republicans they dont like the decision she made
I disagree. Navajo nation relies on bilagannas to much.
She's a Fake Activist. She pretends to represent native people. But she only represents herself.
She got Paid from DEAL.
Dumb n dumbr...who learned you how? Gawleeh I hope the monster slayer twins come and make havoc on those money lusting Navadineh..
The only reason Navajo have lands right on top of Pueblo and Hopi lands is because the white government planned the Navajo killing the other tribes out.
Navajo were Given that land by whites
-COMANCHE NATION
Unfortunately her position is higher than the Navajo Nation President's position, her being specially appointed by Biden
OK, my ignorance is showing preserve Chaco, no drilling mining, or anything? Why not leave it alone? Sovereignty means nothing?
Leave that land alone. Was there before you. Sacred.
BREAKING NEWS : Supreme court rules against Navajos for water rights.. The very Supreme court that was appointed by trump!...... BUT, oil companies still want your oil...
This land all belong to the native American Indians 😮 u hear me!!
I will stand with the side that's not wearing mask.
I will stand with the side who respects the Earth mother and the ancient Anasazi pueblo sites and land........ZAPOTECA NATION
@elizandrobailon ...even after finding out Janene Yazzie is a Paid ACTivist.
@elizandrobailon6459 You have my Respect. Thank you. HEMISH NATION.
@@el_deplorablede_tejas1394 I dont care about Yazzie get it I stand for ancient sites of the pueblo peoples the earth mother and respect for the land
Greed......nothing but greed.
But Chaco doesn't belong to the Navajo it belongs to the long ago Anasazie ...
How about all of Turtle Island, AKA USA.
Stay out off of the nation people land what little America government as let them keep shameful 😒 on the government
All that education and some of the Navajo people still have no running water. Shame shame.
All natives use that sacred place. Manifest destiny think they know better.
Anything coming out of Washington, DC these days STINKS!!!!
If it's natives land they can do it themselves but then do they want to
Protect the canyon period. Sorry rich money hungry Navajos
Yell at your leaders, not the US government
Typical, always about the money. Navajo Ancestry were nomads. Their land was everywhere they hunted or raided.
You may do both.
Ancestral Puebloans are disappointed in the Dine' people. Greed and to much pride runs in some of those Navajos.
Not just the Navaho, it's in all of us.
There was something awhile back about Wild Horse's on Native lands and the BLM.
yup. wild horses were being rounded up by BLM & they were being euthanized.
there were dozens of herds of antelope that roamed across the Navajo Nation that were also rounded-up & euthanized by BLM. no antelope herds exist on the NN because of the BLM. in fact, sagebrush has become an invasive species on the NN & they were naturally controlled by the antelope migrations. all the meadows & pastures have been destroyed by invasive sagebrush. many water sources were also destroyed by invasive sagebrush.
Stop it, so tired of people including blm this, blm that when they have no horse in the race, nothing gain from this whatsoever. Like tht organization been quiet for over two years and I still here wackos bringing them up in unrelated issues. It's like oh it rained today damn blm 😂😂
Why don't tribes have representatives in Congress?
My indigenous brothers and sisters were slaughtered or enslaved by English settlers who have been destroying our sacred lands for centuries in Antarctica, Canada, US, Central America and South America and the politicians are disgusting, disrespectful, corrupt, lying, two faced, greedy, gold digging monstrosities who need to go back under the rock 🪨 they came from and get off my ancestors sacred lands.
What a mess
Stand strong,,for Choco canyon☮️🙏💜
Stand strong for Navajo sovereignty.
It's 'Chaco Canyon'.. not "Choco".. Stand strong for education.
You do realize that the native Americans are only renting land from the federal government. The land will never truly be yours. It will always be owned by the government.
Just build a Casino instead of drilling ???
There you go! Window Rock needs the money
They are dividing the Navajos too Deb doesn't speak for all Navajo people they have their own voices
I'll speak for All who need water to survive. We all need to protect our water for future generations to come! We all need Water! Water Is Life!
Deb isn't Navajo. She's from Laguna Pueblo.
Janine Yazzie is definenantly Not Poor.
No they don't they speaking the devil's tongue of them repubes...
Chaco Canyon has nothing to do with Navajo.
Navajo are Eskimos given land by the white government for helping destroy the ancient tribes there.

Lol we took your land along time ago cut it out😂😂😂😂
God Save Chaco Canyon
Should be at least 25 mile radiys, 50 miles would be best
What a fire hazard to mine oil or gas in an area without running water to put the fires out.
All nation need to come together, civil war...
The Navajo/Eskimo does not belong on that ancient land.
It was Given to navajo by the Europeans when the Navs helped murder the ancient tribes in which the Pueblo, Hopi, and Zuni survived.
Other Tribal Nations do not do business with the Navajo due to the long track record of selling out to the government and never supporting their own peoples well-being.
Also the First Code Talkers were the COMANCHE CODE TALKERS

Awareness
No oil and gas weakinds the economy and adds to poverty on tribes already suffering
Whatever they do it's no good. Leave the native Americans alone.
Navajo and Pueblo dont get along
huh? this has to do with oil companies trying to bully natives.. thanks to Deb Holland, she stopped it. Put the bottle down, sober up.. this has nothing to do with tribal animosity.
So these navajos are holding chaco canyon and the ruins hostage? Last I checked, navajos lived in hogan's, not pit houses and pueblos. It's not necessarily navajos but jawns that are this way. Real rude rural uneducated navajo people that fight over land. 🤦♂️Thanks for sharing. I didn't know they didn't get along.
@Bruno_no Pueblos didn't "lost" their lands.. no Native tribe "lost" their lands.. it was stolen from us.. besides, why so salty against the Pueblos? this isn't about tribal animosity, unless you've been trained well by the white people to blame other people..
@Bruno_no you get that narrative from watching Faux news? Your orange god is about to goto jail LOL. Put the bottle down and sober up.
@Bruno_no you’re easy to manipulate. It’s the oil companies who started this. Natives as a whole have always sided with protecting the land. But a few Navajos with low IQ have concluded this is somehow connected with Pueblo indifference. Hahaha
The natives will get more por this is not 🚫 good stoping there money. The land owner are not happy.
By voting Democrat, that's what you get. Self inflected wounds.
We Navajos migrated from the north as my great grandfather said...
No one migrated, they all lived in the region all the way into Asia.
🤦♀️
Money is always more important than keeping sacred land in tact..why not Ruin the land and drinking water? We want money now!!
typical biliganna
@@indigenouswarrior3146 Some people are not smart enough to see when they are doing long-term damage for a short lived, limited suppy..."immediate" result. Some people would cut off their nose, to spite their face!
Water is already bad in the area.
Seems like Deb has sold out
by protecting our land from people that just want to profit from our resources?
Sold out??? To keep the land intact??? Not sure how you arrived at that comment.
how so? finally a fellow native is in our corner to keep the lands our ancestors died and fought for sacred and keeping greedy oil companies off. Seems the Navajo supporters 'sold out' for a few bucks..
@@keote yeah..the navajo people against debs bill to protect Chaco canyon are sellouts.
To who? Be specific.
They ain't got water but do have fox news apparently
@Bruno_no woke...ok, sleepy sheep
😮😮😮😮😮😮
Protect Your Land Give up Nothing Don't Fight each Other Injuns We Been their Done that Some Things money Can't Buy .
😂😂😂
If it was on her land they would let them drill because she would want that money. Now the people on that land will not get nothing. People need to eat.
The area around Chaco is Navajoland and Navajos should have had a voice on this matter. Instead...liberals, environmentalists, and Pueblos (who no longer live in the Chaco Canyon region for centuries) made all the decisions. In this case, Navajos should make decisions on lands they've lived on for the last one thousand years (including Alaska and Canada...places the Navajos have lived in).
@@c.m.redhouse7667 So because Pueblos no longer reside in that area, it's somehow related to the 'liberals'?.. huh?.. strange logic. In case you've been a coma, there's been a continuous fight against this type of bullying from the oil companies with government, they ignore the people. Look at the sacred Bear Ears, where trump and republicans did everything they could to drill oil. Thanks to Obama and Biden, they put a stop to it. Look to the north where all Natives gathered to stop oil the Keystone pipelines, Obama stopped it. The day trump was in office, he let it run right thru Native American lands..Get it straight, the Navajos and every other indigenous people in what is called North American continent was all ours.. we are now in less than 10% of what we had. We need to do what we can to collectively protect them, not blame each other for what the europeans stole.
Navajos have not been here for a thousand years the longest is 500 years...when the Spanish conquered Mexico and started moving up north to new Mexico the navajos were barely even arriving...they are not ancient in the 4 corners region.they are new.......
@@elizandrobailon6459 This is correct
@c.m.redhouse7667 well you shuld go bak to Alaska.
Salute to the Natives. "Go Home"
Go home is,.....she from here.
Sorry, she ain't from Chaco Canyon region. Chaco Canyon region is Dine Bikeyah (Navajoland). Pueblos have abandoned this land long ago...no longer theirs.
@@c.m.redhouse7667 can't be abandoned when the ancestors are still living there. That's why Pueblos are fighting for it to be protected.
@@thatrezzieguyde13 Pueblo ancestors are dead...what are you talking about? Pueblos don't live in or near Chaco Canyon anymore. The land around Chaco Canyon is now Navajoland. The Navajo proposal should have been respected and given consideration. This was a conflict of interest on Deb Haaland (her daughter is an activist). She placed the decisions of Laguna Pueblos, her tribe (who live over a hundred miles from Chaco Canyon), appeasing her daughter and the liberal environmentalists over any concerns of the Navajo people (the people that actually live in the area).
@@c.m.redhouse7667 okay and I thought Navajos feared death and/or the dead and leave the place the death occurred. Navajos can't get mad because they are following in Pueblos footsteps and live where Pueblos did.
@@c.m.redhouse7667 Her concern if to protect Native lands from oil companies, but people like yourself are blaming her for her tribal membership. You should wake up, it's the 'liberals' that have been keeping the greedy republicans like trump from handing over tribal lands to oil companies.
Leave the Holly land alone 😢
Leave the Navajos living there alone. They are just trying to make a living. For goodness sake, leave them alone.
@@c.m.redhouse7667 they are left alone... oil companies want to ruin your way of living. Maybe that's too complicated for you to comprehend.
Grow up the natives have been given so much. It’s ridiculous. It’s their leaders that are screwing them over and selling out. You need to understand that that is the federal governments land and the natives are just renting it for the time being. It’s sad to say, but that’s the truth.
Just witch the pueblos like how they witched the utes hahaha they will stay away after that 😂😂
The Navajo were enslaved and sold by neighboring tribes. Mormans did it and are probably still doing it.
Better vote Blue. Red is going to take all of the rez and privatize it and take what ever is left to drill and talk all the minerals out. So vote Blue🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵🔵
That's bs and you know it..
