Office of President not cooperating with Speaker regarding Toyei Industries, Fort Wingate MOU team
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. - The Office of the President is not cooperating with the Office of the Speaker on important efforts that are in the best interest of the Navajo Nation.
Various written requests have been made to the Office of the President from the Office of the Speaker to finalize solutions on various open issues important to the Navajo Nation, such as with Toyei Industries Inc. and the on-going clean up and final disposition of military lands on Fort Wingate Military Reservation. < br> In regards to Toyei Industries Inc., which was created in the late 1970s to address the needs of individuals with mental disabilities, has failed to gain support from the Navajo Division of Health and the Navajo Division of Social Services - both divisions under the executive branch - for any technical assistance and even the timely support of contract approval. As with the Fort Wingate Military Reservation lands, clean up is currently being conducted by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and is monitored by the New Mexico Environmental Department with guidance from the Fort Wingate MOU team. The Fort Wingate MOU team consists of the Navajo Nation, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Navajo Regional Office, the Pueblo of Zuni and the BIA Southwest Region. Much work remains on the both issues and are pertinent to the Navajo Nation's best interest. It is important for the Office of the President to be active in the discussion of the issues because the lack of cooperation from the president may delay the resolution on the two matters. Speaker Morgan said these matters are important to the Navajo Nation and would need assistance from the Office of the President to keep the matters moving forward. "These are open issues of the Navajo Nation and it is important that the President be involved in the progression of the issues," Speaker Morgan said. "These are projects needing immediate attention."

New Mexico Health Fair Participants Urged to Seek Additional TestingParticipants who had their blood tested at an April 24 health fair at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, NM, are being strongly advised to have additional blood testing for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV because of possible blood contamination during the health fair testing. Members of the general public who did not attend the health fair are not considered at risk. Students from the University of New Mexico Physician Assistant program administered the blood test for high blood sugar, which is an indicator of diabetes. Approximately 50 individuals received the free tests on April 24, according to the university. The device used to prick the finger to get the blood sample required for testing was meant for single patient use and not for multiple patients. Although the risk is believed to be small, those who volunteered for testing that day may have been put at risk of contracting infections due to potential exposure to diseases spread by blood contact. Once this incident was identified, the University of New Mexico requested immediate assistance from the Indian Health Service, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the New Mexico Department of Public Health to initiate a detailed investigation. The Indian Health Service had no involvement in the health fair or the testing. Patient safety and public health is a top priority of all parties involved in this investigation. As such, we are working as quickly as possible to identify individuals who received the blood glucose testing. Individuals can also contact their health care providers directly to arrange for testing. The university also has established a Compliance Hotline at 1-800-899-6092 for patients to call and leave a message. A registered nurse will return all calls and send information packets, including details for the patient’s health care providers. Further information is available through the University of New Mexico School of Medicine website at http://contact.health.unm.edu/.

Special Amendments Act of 2010 provides transparency,
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. - Navajo Council Delegate Orlanda Smith-Hodge was not surprised Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr. vetoed the Special Prosecutor Amendments Act of 2010 on May 14.
The legislation, which Hodge sponsored, provides the Chief Legislative Counsel the authority to make preliminary investigations and to apply for the appointment of a special prosecutor in the same manner as the Navajo Attorney General, and it also provides that the appointment of judges to the Special Division of the Window Rock District Court be confirmed by the Navajo Nation Council.
She said the legislation was needed because when information on the alleged improprieties of the Navajo Nation's dealings with OnSat and BCDS, the Bio Chemical Decontamination Systems - two failed business deals managed by the Office of the President - were received by the Attorney General, he failed or refused to take immediate action.
"It has been the experience of the Navajo Nation that the Attorney General has been reluctant to make preliminary investigations and to apply for the appointment of a special prosecutor when the identified officials and employees are the President of the Navajo Nation, or other officials, or employees of the Executive Branch of the Navajo Nation," Smith-Hodge said. "This was the case even though the Office of the Prosecutor had requested an investigation, and the Auditor General had completed an audit of OnSat and BCDS matters, which revealed alleged improprieties on the part of the Executive Branch officials and employees."
"The Attorney General had also received an investigative report from the law firm with which they contracted -- Shubert, Garvey and Barer," Smith-Hodge added. "This revealed serious allegations of improprieties in the Navajo Nation Executive Branch's handling of the federal E-Rate applications and funding, connected with OnSat."
The Attorney General's inaction required the Council to appropriate $500,000 in additional funding for investigations by outside law firms. With the recommendation from the Office of the Speaker, the Attorney General contracted with Wiggins, Williams and Wiggins law firm for further investigation of the BCDS matter and Sacks Tierney for further investigation of OnSat.
"Even though the Attorney General received the detailed written reports from these law firms, the Attorney General did not immediately proceed to review those reports and apply for appointment of a special prosecutor," Smith-Hodge said. "The Navajo Nation Council was instead required on October 26, 2009, to pass its Resolution CO-41-09 to refer the reports to the Attorney General, and to place President Shirley on administrative leave to protect the Office of the President and Vice-President's witnesses and records from tampering."
During this time, the Attorney General still did not apply for a special prosecutor until Dec. 7, 2009, when the Office of the President and Vice President (OPVP) and President Shirley filed a complaint in Window Rock District Court to challenge the passage of Resolution CO-41-09. As well, the Attorney General refused to provide legal representation to the Navajo Nation Council and the Speaker in the suit.
After Judge Geraldine Benally issued a final order on Dec. 16, 2009, invalidating Resolution CO-41-09, the Attorney General finally reported to the Navajo Nation Council that he would apply for appointment of a special prosecutor for the OnSat and BCDS matters.
"It has been the experience of the Navajo Nation that the Attorney General has eagerly, and without apparent preliminary investigation applied for the appointment of a special prosecutor when the identified officials and employees are the delegates of the Navajo Nation Council," Smith-Hodge said. "The delays in the consideration of evidence by the Attorney General for the appointment of a special prosecutor, and in the submission of an application to the Special Division have naturally resulted in a situation where in the second term of the Navajo Nation President will likely expire prior to any prosecution of the BCDS and OnSat matters before the Ethics and Rules Committee of the 21st Navajo Nation Council, or possibly the Courts of the Navajo Nation."
Smith-Hodge said the needs have been identified to allow the Chief Legislative Counsel to exercise similar authorities to those exercised by the Attorney General with regards to investigations and the application of special prosecutors.
"
The delegation of authority to the Chief Legislative Counsel will prevent the Attorney General from being able to improperly protect Executive Branch officials and employees from investigation and prosecution, while providing both the Attorney General and the Chief Legislative Counsel the authority to address allegations of impropriety by Legislative Branch officials and employees," Smith-Hodge said. "The amendment of the law, relative to the appointment of judges and justices of the Special Division of the Window District Court, will provide for confirmation of the appointments by the Navajo Nation Council, which will provide an effective checks and balance on the authority of the Chief Justice of the Navajo Nation Supreme Court to make such appointments."
"Currently, the Attorney General has the authority to apply for a special prosecutor on his own, without a referral from any source," Smith-Hodge explained. "These amendments would address the situation, wherein, the Attorney General relies on newspaper articles or other unreliable sources of information, instead of audit reports or investigative reports, as the basis for filing an application for appointment of a special prosecutor."
A May 16 press release from the Office of the President seeks to highlight the separation of powers doctrine several times by saying "it prevents the concentration of power in one branch, which historically has roots to tyranny."
Although light in words, the Office of the President assumes the Council is a tyrant entity among the three branches for simply elevating its Chief Legislative Counsel to that of the Navajo Attorney General.
Ironically, the meaning of tyranny refers to one who has taken power for his or her own interest. In this case of defining who is a tyrant, the Office of the President has his own interest at stake by running for an unprecedented third term, which is clear evidence of self-serving interests; thus, fits the criterion of a tyrant.

Office of the President falsely accuses Council Delegates of discrediting Judge Perry for extending TRO
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. - The Office of the President issued a press release on May 11 alleging Council Delegates Kee Allen Begay and Young Jeff Tom of discrediting Judge Carol Perry for her decision to extend a temporary restraining order (TRO) to raise doubt in the public's mind about their own Navajo court system, which is definitely not the case as they executed their roles as lawmakers by upholding Diné culture and sovereignty by being responsive and accountable to their Navajo constituents.
In his role as chairman and a member of the Judiciary Committee, Mr. Begay is simply exercising his responsibility in improving the Navajo judicial system, which is contrary to the assumptions the Office of the President (OPVP) claimed in a recent press release. Begay would know and recognize first hand the issues within the judicial branch and its court decisions.
According to 2 N.N.C. § 574 of the Navajo Nation Code, some of the powers of the Judiciary Committee include:
"As a delegate and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I am following what is in the law. The Judiciary Committee of the 21st Navajo Nation Council has oversight authority of the Judicial Branch," Begay said. "My statement is not about asking the judge to make a decision. My comment was more about how the judges are relying on other court hearings and literally ignoring what is in the law. For the past seven years, there was no problem with the court system until recently."
Unfortunately, Begay does not have a personal or political agenda as the Office of the President's press release assumes. In fact, the OPVP press release is a political tactic in itself as Begay is merely acting according to his enumerated powers as chairman and member of the Judiciary Committee in accordance with the Navajo Nation Code.
"If the Office of the President has a concern with judicial matters, the committee can certainly enlighten the Office of the President of the committee's authority," Begay added. "We are inviting the Office of the President to come to the Judiciary Committee regular meeting on May 20. I am not asking the president to sit in for all of our meetings, but to provide feedback such as the processing of legislation and other judicial related matters."
"If the Office of the President is so in tune with following my words through a microscope, my activity and my movement, why aren't they helping me out in addressing dilapidated court facilities on the Navajo Nation?" Begay added. "We have the Chief Justice evaluation coming up and District Judge evaluations coming up as well, this is our function according to the law. I am sure the Office of the President will be preparing a statement because I am voluntarily assigned to sit in on the evaluation of Judge Perry."
It is the intent of Begay and Tom to make aware of the courts flawed system, which the people need to know about.
"It has been over one year that the President has not acted on the recommendations of the committee to appoint another judge," Begay said. "If the Executive Branch is so concerned with the Judicial Branch, why don't they tackle those problems for the Navajo Nation, instead judges are being reassigned."
"We have, and I have, advocated on behalf of our Navajo people that we should have quality justice for our people based on our Navajo laws, but this is being violated," Begay added. "I believe our court system is being abused and our judges are being persuaded to be on one side - this is not justice for the Navajo people."

SAG Partners with Robert Redford, State of New Mexico for Acting Workshops
May 7, 2010 (Sante Fe, N.M.)—Screen Actors Guild President’s National Task Force for American Indians, in conjunction with Robert Redford Enterprises and the state of New Mexico, presents one of its acclaimed Diversity Acting Workshops today in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The invitation-only event is part of Milagro at Los Luceros, whose mission is to create and expand training programs in film, arts, and the environment, concentrating on Hispanic, Native American, African American and other underrepresented voices. Both in the audience and on stage, up-and-coming talent will have the chance to learn from their assembled mentors in an appropriate setting, the Institute of American Indian Arts, which offers a growing new media arts program.
“Our mission with this program is to support underrepresented and underemployed performers, helping them gain equal employment access and opportunities in the entertainment industry,” says Ken Howard, SAG president. “Programs like our Diversity Acting Workshops do just that.”
"I am honored and thrilled that the SAG President's National Task Force for American Indians is furthering its mission to advance the interests of American Indian actors, and other underrepresented actors,” says DeLanna Studi, the task force’s chair. “This unprecedented partnership is one we hope to continue to grow and nurture for the benefit of our diverse membership in New Mexico and all across the country."
A number of high-profile entertainment professionals, including some of SAG’s own critically lauded talent, will help workshop participants refine their skills. The morning is focused on the business of acting and camera techniques, while the afternoon is dedicated to the cold reading process.
"I am very pleased to reunite with my good friend Robert Redford as we embark on this partnership with Milagro at Los Luceros to create and expand training programs for Hispanic, Native American and African American talent in the entertainment industry,” says SAG National Board Member Ed Harris, a task force member. “I look forward to participating because diverse yet underrepresented voices need to be heard and integrated into our American Scene."
Mentors and panelists in today’s event include actors Ed Harris (Apollo 13, A History of Violence, Pollock, The Hours), Anne Sward Hansen (As the World Turns), Irene Bedard (Smoke Signals, Crazy Horse, Pocahontas), Lora Cunningham (The Book of Eli), Gary Farmer (Smoke Signals, Skins), Jill Momoday Gray (Coyote Waits, Natural Born Killers), David House (In the Valley of Elah, Suspect Zero), Steven Michael Quezada (Breaking Bad, Love Ranch) and Kalani Queypo (Into the West); playwright/actor Bruce King; casting director Rene Haynes (Twilight Saga); and director/producer Chris Eyre (Smoke Signals, We Shall Remain, Skins).
“I commend the task force for taking the lead on this monumental partnership to expand employment opportunities for American Indian and Hispanic actors in New Mexico,” says Anne Sward Hansen, a SAG National Board member and task force member who also previously served as chairman of the American Indian College Fund.
“This workshop is a unique and valuable opportunity for New Mexican actors to learn from and work with some of the best in the business,” says Lisa Strout, director of the New Mexico Film Office. “It’s the first of many such programs with the goal of helping participants find work and success in the film industry.”
"We are very pleased that the Sundance New Mexico initiative, Milagro at Los Luceros and the Screen Actors Guild chose to hold its acting workshops at the Institute of American Indian Arts,” says Dr. Robert Martin, president of IAIA. “We have worked hard to expand our campus facilities in the last several years, and it is rewarding to see more organizations visit and utilize our beautiful campus. Considering we have a strong new media arts degree track, with many emerging film makers, it is a natural fit as one of Milagro at Los Luceros' objectives is to provide immersive job training in film for Native Americans."

Budget and Finance Committee passes legislation amending Finance and Accounting Scholarship Project eligibility requirements
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – The Budget and Finance Committee of the 21st Navajo Nation Council met
April 6 and passed legislation amending the eligibility requirements to the Finance and Accounting Scholarship Project administered by the Navajo Nation Investment Committee through the Navajo Nation Office of the Controller.
According to Mark Grant, controller for the Navajo Nation, under current provisions students who benefit most are Master of Business Administration (MBA) graduate scholars who do not have undergraduate degrees in finance or accounting.
“The finance and accounting scholarship budget was designed for finance and accounting students,”
Grant said. “Over the years, MBAs were added to the scholarship. The problem with funding MBAs is that they do not always have an undergraduate degree in accounting or finance.”
Original legislation (Resolution BFMY-47-96), enacted since May 2, 1996, gave priority to MBA graduate students and second priority to undergraduate finance and accounting students; however, under legislative amendments first priority will be given to students with undergraduate degrees in accounting or finance and secondary priority to graduate students with undergraduate degrees in finance or accounting.
“The purpose of the amendments is to attract students into the finance and accounting areas of the
Navajo Nation,” explained Council Delegate LoRenzo C. Bates (Upper Fruitland), whose legislation
(Legislation No.0191-10) passed the committee, 5-1.
“Our focus is on the meat of finance and accounting; we have given priority to MBAs,” Grant added.
“MBAs are taking money from those who have degrees in finance and accounting. We want to fund those juniors and seniors.”
For more information regarding the scholarship, please contact: Office of the Controller, PO Box 3150, Window Rock, AZ, 86515 or at (928) 871-6126.
The scholarship program has been in existence for over ten years and is a competitive scholarship that awards a $5,000 scholarship to five to ten students per academic year.

Budget and Finance Committee passes bill amending Title 12 of the Navajo Nation Code, legislation to go before Navajo Council
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. - The Budget and Finance Committee of the 21st Navajo Nation Council met today during a regular scheduled meeting and passed Legislation No. 0181-10 amending Title 12 of the Navajo Nation Code. The amendments create a new Gaming Revenues Fund Management Plan, which will distribute net gaming revenues to all 110 Navajo Nation Chapters.
Pursuant to BFMA-03-10, the committee enacted similar legislation on March 19 in which an amount equal to five percent of net gaming revenues be distributed only to the host gaming chapter - Church Rock Chapter - and other future host gaming chapters. Under that legislation, the Gaming Revenues Fund Management Plan distribution was to be approved by the Budget and Finance Committee with recommendation from the Navajo Gaming Regulatory Office. That legislation, sponsored by Council Delegate Ernest Yazzie (Baahaali/Church Rock), passed the committee, 4-3.
Legislation No. 0181-10, however, amends the previous Title 12 legislation (BFMA-03-10) sponsored by Yazzie. This legislation limits power from the Budget and Finance Committee as distributor of the funds and instead gives that distribution and approval role to the Navajo Nation Council upon recommendation of the committee following a ten day comment period to the Navajo Gaming Regulatory Office.
As well, a new Gaming Revenues Fund Management Plan allocates net gaming revenues for the immediate and long-term needs of the Navajo Nation to develop infrastructure, health, housing, education, scholarship, job training, elderly care, veterans' benefits, police and fire services and economic development.
Under the amendments, each of the 110 chapters will receive an amount equal to five percent through annual appropriations. Net gaming revenues are generated from the Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise.
Council Delegate Hoskie Kee (Littlewater/Baca-Prewitt/Casamero Lake), sponsor of the legislation (Legislation No. 0181-10), explained to the committee the purpose of the legislation and said, "Chapters need money, chapters make up our constituents."
"The main focus for the amendment is the distribution side of it. With the fund management plan and your approval, net revenues from gaming would be given to all 110 chapters," added Kee.
Council Delegate Leonard Chee (Birdsprings/Leupp/Tolani Lake) expressed concerned and questioned the amendments.
"The Council had given delegated authority to this committee to make that determination as far as distribution goes." Chee explained. "We were given delegated responsibility and now we are going to do away with our delegated responsibility."
"We need to look at the overall Navajo Nation, not just our Chapters," added Council Delegate Nelson Begaye (Lukachukai/Tsaile/Wheatfields) who supported the Title 12 amendments. "This is Navajo trust land. According to trust land status, I believe all chapters should benefit from this."
The legislation passed the committee, 4-2. It will now go before the Navajo Nation Council for final consideration and approval.

Intergovernmental Relations Committee passes legislation supporting passage of Arizona Senate Bill 1437
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. -The Intergovernmental Relations Committee of the 21st Navajo Nation Council passed legislation (Legislation No. 0155-10) today supporting Arizona Senate Bill 1437, which would increase the amount of state transaction privilege tax revenues collected on a reservation and distributed equally to tribal community colleges for the maintenance, renewal and capital expenses; thus, strengthening the compact between Indian tribes and the State of Arizona.
If Senate Bill 1437 passes the state legislature, tribal colleges would receive $1.75 million or one-tenth of the annual TPT or sales tax, whichever is greater, collected on a reservation to be used for an Indian tribe's respective college(s).
Council Delegate Leonard Anthony (Shiprock), sponsor of the legislation, said Legislation No. 0155-10 is important to the Navajo Nation and its colleges.
"This legislation speaks to the following language - the Navajo Nation has a position supporting the Arizona Legislature on the passage of Senate Bill 1437," Anthony said. "We want to support this bill so monies are collected for Diné College and Navajo Technical College, as well as other tribal colleges in Arizona."
In the case of the Navajo Nation, the bill would continue providing money to Diné College as well adding Navajo Technical College (NTC) in Chinle, Ariz., to the compact list for funding. Both institutions would receive at least $1.75 million; however, NTC would need to gain accreditation status before granted its share of money.
In related efforts to Arizona sales tax, Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona has sponsored Proposition 100, a plan to generate $1 billion annually through a one-percent sales tax increase for three years. The proposition is scheduled to go before Arizona voters on May 18. Two-thirds of the generated money will be appropriated to education and with one-third split between Public Safety and Health and Human Services. The proposition could impact the allocation of money to tribes including tribal colleges.
The legislation demonstrates and affirms the Navajo Nation Council's support and best interest of the Navajo Nation, its colleges, and other citizens in the State of Arizona. The legislation passed the committee, 6-0. -###-

Rep. Kirkpatrick Pledges to Continue Pushing to Better Serve Veterans
More Than 4,000 Participate in “Ask Ann” Conversation, Discuss What Should Be Done to Make Congress Keep Promises to America’s Fighting Men and Women
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representative Ann Kirkpatrick updated Arizonans on her fight to push Washington to live up to its responsibilities to our Veterans in her “Ask Ann” tele-town hall last night. More than 4,000 people joined her for the conversation, which focused on overcoming federal roadblocks to address the challenges Veterans in Greater Arizona face. The daughter and niece of soldiers and a Member of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, Rep. Kirkpatrick has repeatedly shown her dedication to forcing Washington to meet its obligations to our fighting men and women. She reviewed some of the progress she has helped them make with the federal government, including her successful campaign against the White House proposal to charge Veterans’ personal insurance for care of injuries suffered defending this country. The Congresswoman also helped finally pass a bill that Veterans Service Organizations have been pushing for two decades. The legislation requires Congress to approve the VA health care budget a year in advance so that Veterans will not have to pay the price when Washington cannot get its act together. “Because of the politics-as-usual mindset in Washington, our Nation’s heroes are still facing unacceptable obstacles to accessing the benefits and care they have earned,” said Rep. Kirkpatrick. “Congress simply has to do better.” “I am proud to stand with our fighting men and women against the same old talk from politicians, and I am working to change the way Washington does business to better serve America’s Veterans,” said Rep. Kirkpatrick. Rep. Kirkpatrick took 13 questions over the course of the tele-town hall. She responded to constituents about her efforts to help former service members affected by Agent Orange cut through the red tape and get treatment, how to make it easier for our fighting men and women to get care in their communities and her comprehensive legislation to improve health care access for Veterans in rural areas. The Congresswoman also emphasized the work her office has done helping Veterans deal with the federal bureaucracy, and encouraged those facing problems with their benefits to contact her staff. More than 70 percent of her office’s Veterans cases have been closed successfully. “I know a lot of you are frustrated. I am too. We are all tired of hearing so many speeches and seeing so little action from the government,” said Rep. Kirkpatrick. “That’s why I am going to continue doing everything I can to make Washington keep its promises to you.” This was the third conversation in the “Ask Ann” tele-town hall series. Rep. Kirkpatrick previously hosted discussions on protecting seniors on February 9 and on creating jobs and ending the economic downturn on February 23. Details on the next “Ask Ann” tele-town hall will be announced shortly. Those who could not participate in yesterday’s tele-town hall will be able to listen to a recording on Rep. Kirkpatrick’s website at www.kirkpatrick.house.gov within the next few days.
