This is an address made by Raymond Nakai to the Junior Chamber of Commerce in Phoenix, Arizona. Nakai is informing participants about the current state of Navajo people. Many Navajo are relocating from the reservation to cities for employment. Navajo are then facing racial prejudice along with other challenges and return to the reservation, where there are no employment opportunities. Nakai observes that Navajo people are watching the civil rights movement with Black Americans for the outcome. Raymond Nakai is discouraging all in becoming part of social movements that stand against the United States. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Raymond Nakai, a Navajo Indian, was born in 1918 in Lukachukai, Arizona, on the Navajo Reservation.
