Light up Navajo helped my mom get electricity, it was an exciting time for the family. She was still waiting for water. She passed recently before even getting it. But, we were happy to get electricity so she was able to live a bit more comfortably.

I'm so sorry for all these years, you made me cry.....you made me look at life different, thank you for inspiration.... AMEN....

SRP has served on Navajo and Hopi by extracting coal from Black Mesa. I wished this was something that was done earlier while SRP had NGS leased on the Navajo reservation outside of Page, AZ. It’s something that brings tears to my eyes because this hits home for me. Shicheii and shimasaní wanted electricity at their home when they were still alive. Now my aunt lives there, they got electricity out there a few years after my grandparents both passed away. I’m happy my some of my people are getting the electricity they need for their homes. Hurts my heart that I wish this was done much earlier for those elders that have passed on who wanted electricity. But still very heart warming something is getting done.

Thank you SRP for taking care of my people and especially our elders. May you have a blessed day.

Our beautiful people so so strong !! Bless your hearts elders you r our strength!! This made me cry , prayers for dine

Good job to all the linemen at SRP! Appreciate the work on Navajo land! Projects like this is what inspired me to become an electrical engineer. My end goal is to be apart of projects like this whether it be by solar, or traditional power. I want to provide electricity to my elders to make their lives easier. That lady is right, electricity is a basic necessity. Stay safe out there boyz!

Thank you 😢 Please don't stop helping the Navajo Nation

The people on the Navajo Nation thank’s you for your support and service.❤

Anything to help the Navajo people! They deserve what the rest of us take for granted.

Beautifully made video. I grew up without electricity and my parents weren’t given electricity until 2005. I’m super proud to work for SRP. Thank you to everyone who helped with the project, I know you made someone parent’s or even grandparents super happy and I know they will cherish the moment they flicked on their light switch forever. ♥️

There is No EXCUSE that the Navajo people should not be given what they so deserve & are entitled to have....I stand with You. ♥️

Praise God! The light that shines. Respect to all our elders who lived without electricity. You’ve shown us how tough we are as Navajo people!

Thank you NTUA General Manager keep up the great work for the Navajo people and communities.

I care a lot about indigenous rights. I hope everyone gets electricity. That makes me so sad that someone is without. The reservations were a joke that wasn't very funny at all. These people need help! They're alive. They're people. Let's help them!

I’ve lived most of my life without electricity, my parents are still living without electricity and running water, I’m happy to see that SRP is doing their best, hopefully my parents we’ll get their chance soon, god bless

What my elders talk about is the same way I grew up, no lights, no running water and no hard or concrete floor, it was just dirt. I'm glad I grew up like my elders. Appreciate what you got and what you had.

I was fortunate enough to b 1 of the people on the Navajo Nation 2b blessed with the Light Up Navajo Nation, and am so thankful I got electric fast 🙏🙏 thank u

Thank you very much to SRP and crew going out to the Diné (Navajo) Nation to connect homes to electricity. Many have lived for years and years without this luxury and there are alot still, that live in the outlying areas further out from the highways that keep hoping and praying that they too will receive this modern convenience. Thank for all that you have accomplished and continue to do this. Thank you...👍🙏💙😍🤗

Beautiful!! Thank you, SRP, for doing this when you can. Makes me feel a whole lot better about my 21 years with the company at NGS in Page, AZ. SRP was a fair company to work for and it is good to see that the company is carrying that sense of fairness out into the surrounding community. This is providing much-needed help to the Navajo people. Thank you, SRP.

Tough people. Tough land. Makes them strong people. Im happy for them.

Such a beautiful land beautiful people you deserve all modern things God bless to you all from Flagstaff, Az.

God bless SRP for helping out the Dine (Navajo) people. Thank you for what yall do.

Yes amen!!!! Lite up our ppl ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️God is Good ❤️‍🔥

Thanks NTUA GM for bringing the utility companies to extend electricity to light up homes on the Navajo Nation

i grew up in poverty on the Navajo Nation, in the checkerboard country. i had to leave my land to find something better in the city. people should not have to do that. thank you for helping the Diné. 🙏🏼🧡

That’s touching with the couple that lives 7 miles off the road. How she states they gave up asking for help. Some people are lucky, some aren’t lucky. My family and I live 1 mile off the road but have power and running water 1/2 mile away but we’re still happy without electricity and water. We travel 12 miles into the mountain for fresh water and use solar light around our area. Tough love is all I say.

🤔🥲..pls continue to light up navajo nation for our children.I pray the new president of navajo nation does what he said!

I like your church song 🙏 happy for you and the light that you now have in your 🏠 home. Light comes with hope and blessings everyday from above 🙏🌈.

Thank you, SRP and Light Up Navajo.

Thank you sending prayers to my people and the good people who helped them✊🏻👍

To think that a lot of people in the USA are still living like in a 3. World country! Stay safe out there!👍

Long time over due. I'm so grateful .

A big Thanks to the crew who helped out. Pray more help will come again to the families who didn't get it. Stay safe!

Beautiful film and great effort by SRP to bring electricity to these lands!

😭😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Slowly. . . But surely, the Navajo people will have electricity and running water. Ahéhee SRP.

This is so Heart warming our NDN brothers and Sisters are so happy

Coming from the Dinè land it brought a tear to my eye this rear for me to 😪.. growing up with no kind of power source ect.. I had to leave the rez for a education and a fair job. Leaving my grandparents out in a very rural area 30 -70 miles away from society. 7 miles off the main highways roads. Wood was the only heat in winter and their vehicle was their only AC. Very greatful for the multiple Agencies volunteers and companies who help provided joy and happiness to the people who had lost hope and doubt.

Hi Wow it's good to hear about Navajo people getting there electricity's.I'm happy for them.

Omg!....working together makes it better Thx you on be half of Dine Nation President Nez

Thank you very much by heart SRP for all the great job that is done out there in DINE' land as is experiencing the area .all you workers put in a big great of light in places like that hopefully you reach out to the other distance they need.

Yayyy! 🎉🥳🥳🥳 Love You 🥰❤️💕🪶🌀👣

Beautiful video ❤ god bless the SRP crew doh shí diné ❤

What a blessing !

Yay, they need it in toadlena as well.

Hahaahaaa! I grew up without electricity and running water on the Rez and we turned out fine We went from kerosene butane propane to running a generator and b4 a generator we watched a small TV off vehicle battery hoping not to kill the battery And encyclopedia did us fine 😂 Navajo tribe and NTUA have plenty of government money not to mention casino money and can even apply for grants The real irony is the Navajo Rez used to have two coal fire power plants (One in Page was torn down) supply power to major cities off the reservation But many thx and many blessings to SRP and others that made their way out to the Rez to help out and paying it forward Btw the Grand Canyon is still smoggy lookin 😂 Maybe it was from Vegas and Los Angeles it was blowing in from

God Bless my dears ❤️❤️ Salvation only in Christ Jesus ❤️🌈☀️😘💞🙏🌎🌹

Miigwech for sharing!

Navajo nation ❤❤

This message is for the new Navajo nation president ( HELP)

Everyone should have electricity and water.. everyone ..the Navajo nation in window rock needs to get to together...

Awesome!

God bless. Such a beautiful video

Wow so cool to see this😁😁😁 I enjoy seeing videos like this😀😀😀 thax

The Navajo Nation is my home 🏡

SRP and NTUA should be able to set up solar panels for those that are far out!

💖💖💖💖💖

I remember when u got electric. .i felt so good..

Hopefully get it done before 40 years.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awesome 👋

I miss the old ways of my Great Grandparents lifestyle. To me it was normal to have kerosene lanterns and stoves.

My father would love this I need more information

Wonderful for them to finally have Electricity...too bad there Kids might not going to want to live there ways...it could be a time gone by..

What do they do to deal with the dust, specially when it’s windy? I notice that tere’s not much vegetation covering the ground to protect it from erosion...

When my power goes out I bring in my cheap solar garden lights. You have to take them out for the day, but that' s not so bad.

Hi like vlog. Ppl that see this video. That from California and bck east should stay bck where there from. U hav green all over all the water u need and river and ocean. Please stay bck where u from. Yes, Az beautiful ppl want to move to Flagstaff and Phx other area. Nope we pinch at water and some ppl don't get water, electricity. Now today California and other states want water from us . we need more. Get your water n ocean and the States live by oceans. Ppl n Az need water and electricity. Hav a heart.. Ppl from others state California, Los Vegas ..

Back 5 years ago Navajo council men an administration wouldn't & didn't want to work SRP... when we real need electricity..we live between Camaron & highway to oraibi,we have no electricity's

Transmission lines through native land were erected with Glen Canyon Dam. So what took so long, greed or turning a blind eye? I don’t know whether to cheer or feel shame.

Yay but solar panels should be given to some as needed, they also feed excess into the grid.

🤲🤲🤲🤲🤗

Over 14K Navajos still without electricity...true. These lack of electricity and running water lands squarely on the corrupt Navajo Nation government, its handling of such basic needs for its people...as well as the Navajo people themselves. I am Navajo and I know my people. Navajos are a very stubborn people. For this the Navajos, never gave up on their ancestral land and have successfully occupied the majority of the lands that they have lived on for centuries. One segment of the video shows a Navajo woman talking about living 7 miles from the nearest highway...yeah, that is common on the Navajo Nation. A lot of people live in remote areas of the vast reservation land. Of course, it's a challenge to link electricity to remote sections of the land...much worst is getting running water there. But do know...and the world needs to know, the Navajos will not give up living on a piece of land they have lived on for years. Most Navajos have a choice to move to a small populated community, where they can have electricity and running water...BUT due to stubbornness they will forgo moving into a house with running water and electricity and stay in the house they have lived in for years, a house they grew up in, or a house they raised their children. Much appreciation to the Light Up Navajo program (probably a non-Navajo program).

I live in window rock n still can't get lights😟

I am shocked. Why are the Navaho leaders not taking care of their people? Is this common in all the reservations? No water, no electricity? Wow!!!

My heartaches to know that still 14000 Navajo homes are without electricity. I hope the American government stops giving aid to other countries. And focuses just on all the reservations in America.

At least you don't have to go thur with a lot of bills

I'm wondering if they didn't have electricity that there homes have been wired for it and they have appliances already as well as stereo ect . Now you have a bill to struggle to pay as well. I personally would of went solar and add on to it as you can until you have enough . Just a 12 volt swamp cooler will cool your home in dry climate. For the woman worried about her husband get a personal located becon push button a alert and text can be sent to ems.

Send them solar!

Marlene still does not have electricity the people at the beginning of video what a joke

Where's all the millionaire entertainers who want to help..

I have to say to the Indian Bureau and the Governor of New Mexico, how about the promised water and electricity on the Navajo in the Gallup and Farmington area? During the Civic lockdown in this state, the Navajo went into Gallup to get water for themselves and their sheep. It was denied to them. They were turned away by the town. They suffer extremely because they are Navajo and they consider them a dirty useless person. They are nor have they ever been given any respect. They have suffered for centuries and they are treated worse than the other native nations in this state.

For all the natural resources SRP got from Navajo land which turned them into a multi-million dollar company, this is the least they could do🙄

what happens in democrat counties for decades.

True, my grandma didn't power, I grew up there but didn't think about much, way to go put power in guys 👍👌😎

They light up ours lives...to the first Native American people .finally
