Listen "Marty Monte, To'hajiilee Medicine Man"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textWest of Albuquerque, New Mexico, is a band of Navajos (Dine') federally recognized only in the late 1960s. But the community of To'Hajiilee is older than the United States, and its surrounding canyons and hills hold sacred secrets to a history that has never been taught--even to other Dine'.Regarded as "the enemy Navajo" by many Dine', medicine man Marty Monte talks about the major events that led up to The Long Walk and the what led to To'Hajiilee being treated as an outcast by the larger community of Dine' from the Navajo Nation.Today, however, everything goes through the Navajo Nation, an entity that seems to have prioritized the needs of the people of To'Hajiilee based on their proximity to the rest of the Navajo Nation. So how do they fix their problems? Join me as I speak about this and other challenges faced today with Marty Monte, a resident whose family has lived there for generations.
