While NAPI is a success in many ways, it is HEAVILY subsidized by the US gov't. and as such, isn't yet fully sustainable.
We all have high hopes, though.
i commend the navajos for developing a self sustainig industry.
though i think you can't report on that part of the country without talking about water.
where is the water coming from for NAPI ?
This is a great example of what can be accomplished when there is NO goverment interference!
Keep up the great work, Navajos!
Did you know that Al Sharpton is part Navajo .
That is totally awesome. Good for them!!
This is truly amazing, given the land that the farm is on- you see that the hard work and determination really pay off.
Amazing!
They said it coudn't be done... and my hat goes off to you, you're all doing a great job. I would love to see more and more of your products hitting the supermarkets, maybe even out here in Missouri...
