In Navajo Cops this week viewers are exposed to a major problem happening in Navajo and Indian Country that shouldn't be happening at all- domestic disputes. These disputes aren't just happening to spouses but to other family members. In many Native cultures family is the key to wealth, health and success. It is a sacred privilege that shouldn't be taken for granted.

This week the Navajo Cops take a break from hunting “The Howler" and take on a possible homicide case in a two-hour special. They leave you hanging on through out the first episode trying to figure out what happened and the only clues they give you is a shallow grave, a bag containing gloves and blood. Oh, and not to mention a cop finding the head of something right before they cut to a commercial break.

National Geographic has decided to air six episodes of Navajo Cops, a hour long TV show that follows Navajo officers as they fight crime on the Navajo reservation. The March 12 premiere had me excited and home sick at the same time.

A recent study shows that Native Americans in New Mexico are smoking more than any other race in the state. Being a New Mexican and Native American I found this shocking!
According to the Farmington (N.M) Daily Times, nearly a quarter of people who live on tribal land in New Mexico smoke. This rise in smoking has occurred only recently, in previous years the rate of Native smokers was lower than other ethnic groups.
