NAVAJO NATION, AZ — It's a place where roughly one in five families do not have access to electricity - the Navajo Nation.
They are issues ABC15 has covered extensively over the years, but as we recently found out, there is a major effort underway to advocate for people on the Navajo Nation that's not only powering up their homes but also empowering families there at the same time.An invitation inside Ken Trevino's home is more than just a look inside his traditional hogan, which typically has six or eight sides.
Susie says her favorite part about living there is that it's quiet and"you can get away from it all." She added,"You can be secluded. You can't get that in other places. There's always a train going by some place or a jet or some kind of obstruction.""The place is all wired," explained Ken."The outlets are all in place.
Dozens of utility companies from 19 different states are participating, just like Salt River Project crewmembers we met from the Valley.As a journeyman lineman, no one knows that better than Brown; this was his fourth time on the Navajo Nation, rolling up his sleeves for the project.
