>> well, i navajo, it is five federal agencies working with navajo nation's.largely epa and region nine out of san francisco. however, the epa is putting out media -- recently there was an article saying they had received over $200 million for cleanup. and some of the information being put out as a little bit misleading or a lot misleading according to navajo nation epa funder director. i had a long conversation with him about some of the cleanup and the proposals. what he is saying is that navajo has a very limited seat at the table when it comes to making decisions and enforcing our navajo policy, as well as stronger cleanup standards. soe need secretary haaland to help to curb the startup of new mines and to work with the agencies -- there are five federal agencies and the navajo nation doing this cleanup. like i said, that is only 523 abandoned mineites where there are over 15,000 in the whole country. we really need federal dollars and better cleanup standards. right now there is a 10 year plan being proposed. some of the standards for the allowable level

here on the navajo nation, 118 have lost their lives to covid, but 167,000 doses have come to the navajo our navajo people. 69,000 right now have received their second dose fully vaccinated, and so with deb being in interior, i am sure a lot of the regulations and policies will be re-evaluated so that we can have economic and infrastructure development. in the most powerful country in the world, chuck, 34% of our navajo people don't have running water and it's because of the lengthy regulations that over see trusts lines, in this case these federal lands, indian lands, and it makes it hard for economic or community development, and i think some of those policies need to be changed and i think deb haaland gives a different perspective there in washington, d.c. using the world view, through the lens of an indigenous person and the difficulties we have had in any type of development. >> you know, i want to talk about the success you've had. your vaccination rate in some ways, you are surpassing many states. >> right. >> i am guessing you are not having -- are you running into vaccine hesita
