Finally, after nearly 16 months of being closed due to the pandemic, the Navajo tribal parks now have a definite reopening date.
The Navajo Times reported:
President Jonathan Nez announced on Tuesday morning that the Navajo Nation parks will reopen – with coronavirus safety protocols developed by the Indian Health Service – at 50% capacity on Monday, July 12.
Nez signed the Navajo Nation Council resolution (CJN-36-21) in front of tour operators and their families who traveled to the capital not only for the signing event but to advocate for reopening Diné businesses and schools.
The lockdowns in the Navajo Nation this past year decimated the tribe's economy and caused great hardship to its people.
