Dear Editor,
I am writing you this email to express my outright disgust with the Navajo Nation. I was born and raised on the Navajo Nation. I am half Navajo on my mom’s side. I was brought up to be very proud of the Navajo reservation and it’s people.
That was until I tried to go to college. I started my college career at Dine College in Tsaile AZ, in 1987. I didn’t have a problem with financial aid then, since I am Navajo and it is a Navajo college. But, when I did try to go to other universities (Colorado & ASU), I got almost no financial help from the Navajo Tribe. I submitted all of the required/requested paper work, certificates, CIB, transcripts, etc, and they still denied me any type of help.
