Navajo Nation continues fight for water rights
JoAnne Yazzie-Pioche calls the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation near Page home. She’s also the president of the chapter. Throughout the years, she’s seen many changes. “I remember when there was hardly anything here in Page,” she says. “There was no Highway 98. It was all dirt roads.” There’s even running water in some parts of LeChee that they get from Page and the Colorado River. Throughout much of the Navajo Nation, however, hauling water is still a way of life.
