Family-to-Family's work helping profoundly poor Native Americans in the Navajo Nation...

Family-to-Family helps many across this country by matching up American families with "more" to American families with "profoundly less"...food, clothing and basic life essentials.
Here in the proud Navajo Nation we try to make a difference in the lives of children...along with our community partner the Eastern Navajo Child Drive by providing food the last week of the month when food stamps are gone. Here, documented by our partners on the ground, a view of what life looks like and feels like to a people who once "owned" this great nation....what have we done?

I have a deep connection with this video, I see a lot of happy children. It’s heartwarming to know programs across the U.S. have taken the reigns to help, not only the Navajo, but other families that are in need. Thank you for sharing.

Being Navajo, I’ve been mistaken to be Mexican or Pilipino. Native Tribes chose to flourish in parts of the Northern and Southern Americas when they migrated from Asia. The Navajo choose the land we live in. In Navajo culture, we were told we are “of” this land within, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. Other tribes choose to migrate south. The “Mexicans” have their own tribes and native languages, but, unlike the Navajo, majority of those tribes have lost their heritage.

@JOSUE1987 Because the reservation is in New Mexico and Arizona! And what country does NM and AZ share borders with? Mexico! I believe Mexicans and Navajos used to marry inter-racially. And thats probably why they look a little mexican.
