HERE AT NAVAJO COUNCIL WINTER SESSION, DAY ONE. VICE PRESIDENT REX LEE JIM PRESENTED STATE OF NATION ADDRESS. COUNCIL HAD NUMEROUS QUESTIONS AND THEY WERE QUITE CRITICAL OF SOME OF THE SHELLY-JIM ACCOMPLISHMENTS, INCLUDING A HOME FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN AT CUDEII.

BUT IN THE END, THE COUNCIL VOTED 16 IN FAVOR, 1 OPPOSED TO ACCEPT THE SHELLY-JIM STATE OF NATION ADDRESS.

THE COUNCIL IS NOW IN A FIVE MINUTE RECESS. THANK GOODNESS BECAUSE MY FINGERS ARE TIRED AND I’M HUNGRY. THE COUNCIL HAD LUNCH SERVED TO THEM AS THEY SAT IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBER.
