DELEGATE LEONARD TSOSIE
this legislation attempts to do away entirely with navajo language. i don’t think hypocritical to keep Navajo language fluency for presidential candidates. i don’t disagree that language not important but requirement is pushing young people away. Sounds good to send out for referendum but we need to settle election. our election is chaotic. we are being laughed at so let’s get people to run.
