# The Navajo Indians lived in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. # They were known as one of the most wealthiest tribes in the country. # During the 1600's, the Navajo Indians began to raise sheep. # In 1864, the US Army destroyed the farms and homes of the Navajo tribe and made them walk 300 miles to Fort Sumner.. |
HOMES SWEET HOMES - UNIVERSITY OF UTAH ARCHITECTURE STUDENTS PROVIDE HOUSES FOR NAVAJOS THROUGH DESIGN/BUILD PROJECTS
It's the middle of July and 100 degrees here at the edge of the Navajo Reservation. This may be the last day the University of Utah architecture students will be laboring in the desert heat. They're about to finish the house they've been building.

NAVAJOS DESPERATE FOR WATER
Ethel Whitehair ran out of water again over the weekend, emptied every bucket and pot, drained the barrels lined up outside her front door. The community well was closed until Monday. So Whitehair waited, as she had so often during her 87 years on Arizona's Navajo Reservation. She waited for her children to come and haul water from the good well. She waited for someone to end an unthinkable water crisis.
