By Nicholas HouseNavajo TimesSome conversations don’t start with a point. They meander. They stumble. They double back and laugh at themselves for doing so.

The president’s 28-page response to Naabik’íyáti’ delivers spin, sidesteps and silence on spendingTÓ ŁIZHIN, N.M. Eight days after President Buu Nygren promised to correspond written responses to questions from the Naabik’íyáti’ Committee, he paid his dues delicately, deceiving the committee and Diné with calculated evasion.

Nicholas HouseNavajo TimesTÓ ŁIZHIN, N.M. – From the opening of his overdue Spring Session report to sundown, some Council delegates kept President Buu Nygren in the hot seat, firing questions with urgency, and no mercy and no time limit.
