Life’s lessons learned from plasma donors in Albuquerque
Elvira Stalin, a Navajo mother of two, began plasma donation in the 1970s to survive while juggling college at AAA Business College in Albuquerque. The $20 per donation helped feed the family and fuel the car, and later she became a department chair at UNM Gallup, turning life experience into teaching. She now surveys dropouts to improve reentry and recalls ice cream trips with her boys after paying bills.

Navajo Nation Council approves nearly 2 million for delegates
In a special session the Navajo Nation Council approved about 2 million dollars in discretionary funding for delegates. Each delegate would receive 15,000 per chapter plus 100,000 for the Office of the President and Speaker, despite protests over accountability and process. Delegates warned the funds risk fostering dependency, while supporters urged aboveboard use. The measure passed 65 to 15 as the session largely deleted other items from the agenda.
