ELECTRICITY ACCESS IN THE NAVAJO NATION

Payne Institute Communications Associate Kristin Ziv, Daniel Cardenas, Fellow Richard Luarkie, and Director Morgan Bazilian write about how many Navajo Tribal members, some 13,000 households, living on the Nation’s reservation still lack access to electricity services. These Navajo households make up most of the 17,000 native American tribal homes without electricity, according to the US Department of Energy’s Office of Indian Affairs. Want of electricity harms public health, education, and economic development outcomes.  October 10, 2024.
