This is part of the Navajo culture. Why should we, as non-Navajo people, pass judgment? /sarc

“”””The act of killing another human being goes against very basic tribal beliefs, said Waylon Begay, a Navajo and doctoral student in the UA’s American Indian Studies department, who teaches a class about Indian traditions and beliefs.

“We’re taught to respect every living thing to keep in harmony and balance,” he said. “It disrupts the universe, it disrupts ourselves. And there are consequences for that.” “”””


Five years ago, the number of murders on the Navajo Nation began to slowly decrease, with each passing year having five to seven less than the previous year.

It was a brief sigh of relief for law enforcement officials and tribal leaders alike, who were happy to see that progress was being made. But that feeling of ease is now a memory.

Statistics from the Navajo Nation Information and Records Department show that number of murders from 2005 to 2006 jumped from 16 to 30.

Unfortunately, its doesn’t shock law enforcement officials.

Forty percent of all violent crime which occurs on the nation’s reservations happens in the northern half of Arizona, Lodge said. The violent-crime rate on the Navajo Nation is six times the national average, and in some towns, like Tuba City, Kayenta and Chinle, the per capita violent-crime rate is much higher than that.
