Navajo Lutheran Mission in Rock Point, AZ: 2009 livestock vaccinations at the Navajo Nation reservation by missionaries from the Lutheran Church of the Cross in Sacramento, CA
During July 2009, volunteers from the Lutheran Church of the Cross in Sacramento, CA visited the Navajo Lutheran Mission in Rock Point, AZ to assist the Navajo people with the health of their livestock.
Despite the extreme summer heat and the remote Navajo homes, church members helped deworm and vaccinate 500 sheep and goats plus 200 horses.
The volunteers from the Lutheran Church of the Cross paid for the expense of vaccinating over 700 livestock.
The vaccination program badly needs funding and anyone wish to help should contact the Navajo Lutheran Mission (see contact info below).
The group also did building repairs and rehab around the mission. On their off time, the group ventured to some of the area's most beautiful rock formations and sites. (See photo collages at end of this post).
The Navajo Lutheran Mission extends special thanks to Arizona Navajo musician Anthony Maloney, who music is featured in this video and will be used in upcoming videos (scroll down for more info and links about Anthony Maloney).
Songs by Maloney included in this video are "Our Warriors" and "A Better Life."

"Our Warriors"
http://soundclick.com/share?songid=1692003
Song about the reality of being plagued by Alcoholism on the Rez.
It is happening, not just on our reservations, but with in our community. There is really nothing to do, but let the abuser realize the facts of their addiction and its consequences.
No lyrics on this one.
I shouldn't have wrote this song in the first place, though it takes the anger out of me, because it was a path that I was on.

About a friends drama and his feelings transferred into a song...
A day of beer drinking and singing. The first cut was terrible and then i just worked at re-writing the whole song, then it all came together. I like it and I hope you do to.

Just wrote what i felt, not thinking about what I was really thinking, just a role in every day relationship functions and disfunctions.
It is more about tears and brokenness, to love...
