(Rock Point, AZ) - During July 2009, volunteers from the Lutheran Church of the Cross in Sacramento, CA visited the Navajo Lutheran Mission in Rock Point, AZ to assist the Navajo people with the health of their livestock.
Despite the extreme summer heat and the remote Navajo homes, church members helped deworm and vaccinate 500 sheep and goats plus 200 horses.
The volunteers from the Lutheran Church of the Cross paid for the expense of vaccinating over 700 livestock.
The vaccination program badly needs funding and anyone wish to help should contact the Navajo Lutheran Mission (see contact info below)
The Navajo Lutheran Mission extends special thanks to Arizona Navajo musician Anthony Maloney, who music is featured in this video and will be used in upcoming videos (scroll down for more info and links about Anthony Maloney)
Songs by Maloney included in this video are "Our Warriors" and "A Better Life."

Tribal membership up for vote
By JODI RAVE
Reporter's notebook
MISSOULA - As Native people, we vote on issues most people would not imagine, such as determining enrollment criteria for tribal citizenship one of the most contentious issues facing our communities today.
Tribal enrollment will be on the Tuesday ballot when citizens of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation in North Dakota go to the polls. Tribal members will be asked to choose enrollment criteria based on either "blood quantum" or "lineal descendancy."
Most tribes use "blood quantum" criteria, meaning tribal citizens must meet a required blood fraction of at least one-fourth. But as tribal citizens intermarry outside the tribe, it's becoming more difficult to meet current blood quantum requirements. Many tribes are now considering switching to lineal descendancy as the determining factor for citizenship.
The majority of tribes in the lower 48 are governed by cookie-cutter constitutions dictated by the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act, a law that requires tribes to get secretarial approval from the Interior Department if they want to change enrollment provisions tucked into tribal constitutions.
