Photos of Navajo Nation Speaker Seth Damon surfaced that showed him in front of a slot machine in Las Vegas appearing inebriated.
Navajo Nation Speaker Seth Damon has resigned after the Navajo Nation Naabikiytai Committee passed legislation Friday to place him on administrative leave without pay. The bill was set to go before full tribal council.that showed him in a Las Vegas casino appearing to be inebriated. He said he was on a family trip, not paid for by tribal funds, to support Native rodeo competitors.
The committee debated what should happen if Damon were put on administrative leave. Amendments were made to the legislation, but because the voting process took place after the allotted time given for the meeting, the legislation was set to move to the full council without the amendments. "Speaker Damon has the ability to be a good speaker, however it's the repeated instances of inebriation that halt his movement forward," said Jarvis William in the comments supporting the legislation."And as the speaker of the Navajo Nation, Damon is held to a different standard. It is a high standard. In the end, I would like to see Speaker Damon seek the help he needs. His communities would be better served after he receives the help he needs.
