It is with great pleasure that I read about the Native American Tribes taking the education of their children as a priority. Please do not let them lose their native language. I worked in Tuba City and have always longed to be back with the Navajo people. My heart is there because I belive that God is doing a marvelous work and I would love to be a part of that system again.
God bless your endeavors.

The Navajo Nation creating their own department of education is a great idea.

The photo! I've never seen a more beautiful setting for a high school.
