I know some Navajos in Page, AZ, really nice people, interesting to hang out with, but their attitude about political things are very different from most Americans. A few years back they got a large settlement from the US government over past royalty issues, I think it was around $550 million. I asked one what he thought about it when the award was finalized. He shrugged and said, “I hope the Elders make good decisions about how to use the money.” They seem very passive about their governance, they just concentrate on their daily lives.
They do have a good sense of humor. We got into his old Pathfinder to go for a drive and he said, “This car has Navajo air conditioning. Roll down the windows!”

Leadership of most Indian nations is totally corrupt. Navajo nation is still poverty stricken despite the hundreds of millions granted to them. 2014, out by Antelope Canyon. The village is dirt roads and shacks. Looks like Haiti or some such.
