More than 160 Chinle residents turned out on August 7 to hear candidates for the CD 1 Congressional seat answer questions about Navajo resource issues and other issues of concern to the Navajo Nation. This was an historic event – the first such forum to be hosted on the Navajo Nation! And, attendees were treated to a ceremonial presentation of the flags by the Color Guard of the Central Navajo Veterans Organization.
