I read it as the First Navajo woman, (no Navajo women existed before?) became speaker.

according to other people in this thread and google, ‘first woman’ is a very important figure in navajo mythology, so they were probably trying to avoid being confusing/offensive

It's like they go out of their way to avoid giving a name

I thought perhaps she was the first Navajo woman? I didn't recall it being a men-only tribe prior

That title needs some serious work.
Congrats to her, though.

I read it as if she were the first Navajo woman. For a second I thought: "How did it take this long?"
I'm a freaking idiot.

Huh? Native Reservations are the exact reason it wouldn't make sense for a white dude to be running it. They're sovereign nations

No, it's a very poorly written title. Someone suggests elsewhere in the comments that the awkwardness is to avoid the phrase "First Woman", as it is apparently a term of significance in Diné culture, but "New Navajo Nations Council speaker to be woman for first time" would have been the appropriate way to phrase it in this case. The way it was written is moderately to severely fucked up grammatically. That being said, this is amazing news! Just painful journalism.

My read was a version of that. I wondered what other women were in charge before her...

Not cool man to insult Vets. Suicide of Veterans and Veteran PTSD is a real national crisis and tragedy. Vets deserve medical care after all they sacrificed to keep people like you and I free.
