Inside Navajo Nation with Sheriff (different reality) 🇺🇸

👋Thanks for watching! ► We'll have another video from the Navajo Nation posting next Sunday. ► Join our community HERE: bit.ly/3HC36EH

My friend's truck engine blew up while she was driving through the Navajo nation. The only hotel was many miles away and fully booked. It was getting dark and she was gonna lie down in the front seat of the car to sleep for the night. Along came the Navajo police and told her no way, too dangerous. They put her in the patrol car and took her to the jail, where she spent the night in a cell, door unlocked, of course. They even brought her coffee and breakfast in the morning.. She said it was the best time she ever had in jail, LOL.

We are fortunate in Navajo County to have David Clouse as our Sheriff. He has been accessible to the public, has worked with his Deputies to combat the influx of drugs into our area. He has attended our programs honoring our Veterans and is very Supportive of our civic activities. He's a good guy.

He seems very genuine and has a positive outlook on life. Cool to see the native Americans support him and vice versa.

In 2003 I was a bus driver bringing soldiers from Iraq back to there ho e bases. We also brought soldiers to Snowflake AZ. They received a heros welcome with people lining up the road for miles, some dressed in tribal clothing. The people invited us to their festivity and we truly didn't expect that. Nice memory.

Sheriff Clouse truly embodies what quality law enforcement looks like. A partner within the community, not an adversary. Thank you for this, Peter. I don't know how the algorithm sent me your way, but I'm so happy it did. You gained a subscriber today!

The whole country needs more law enforcement leaders like him.

This is fascinating. I come from Northern Ireland, a country not without its own problems. Seeing unbiased insights into such novel methods to accommodate the needs of diverse communities is truly inspirational.

On the Hopi Reservation, there's a lot of crime that happens, but no one ever gets in trouble or anything. This one time while I was home at soongopavi, it was around 6AM during the summer. I heard a horn constantly honking and our little chihuahua barking. I told my bf to go check outside, and someone was in my brothers car looking for whatever he was trying to look for. And so we go and hold him down and call the police. He was on something cause his mouth was really foamy. Our neighbors, who happen to be blood/clan relatives of his. They were telling us, "Let us take him home." Me, being upset cause we've had issues with these boys in the past from stealing from us, we told the family no because this behavior is unacceptable. We called law enforcement, and they took him in. And I know our neighbors were one not too happy, but if that was someone else doing that to them, best believe they would've called the cops on them too. I simply just don't understand how people can act like this towards people of your community and then continue to call yourself "Hopi" or etc. That boy came from the Bear clan and the Bear clan are our village mongwis "chefs", and to me when you go off and act like that, you're giving not just our people a bad name but also your past relatives who especially carry that clan too. There's always bad apples somewhere. I just want people to do the right thing and act right. Too much crime these days, and as a mom of all boys, it scares me because I don't want my children running down that path. When you stay out in the reservations, you get bored, and sadly, people follow that path towards all that. I just hope one day, everyone wakes up and realizes there's so much more we can do as people to make this world better. Paasningwu, take care of yourselves!

This is the kind of stuff our kids need to be learning in school. Well done sir

You should do a ride along with the Navajo Nations law enforcement paranormal squad. They have so many calls about paranormal stuff on the Navajo reservation that tribal police have a special unit that responds.

This sheriff is great, it’s nice to see one that cares about those he serves

We all need a Sheriff like that! Open, straight forward, not too intellectual, empathetic. Hats off to you for making people feel so at ease they actually go deep into the topics and start to make real life sense. The gift of wider horizons. Love your stuff, big up from Amsterdam.

Im Navajo and i really like this Sheriff and his knowledge of the tribe. I wish NM had sheriffs like him. Im in New Mexico and most of the time the NM state police work with Navajo tribal police. I like this sheriff because he seems to really care about tribe and non tribal members. Navajo culture is mixture of cowboy western culture and native culture. Peter your Navajo is good.

I'm a truck driver and I go through this area a lot. I can tell you the Navajo are some of the nicest people I have ever met. They treat me like gold when I am around them.

A guy like that sheriff is everything right with this country and we got a lot of wrong so it makes him even more important

If every Law Enforcement Officer was like this Sheriff in the world, we’d live in a much safer, loving, compassionate place. Crime rates would be not even 10% of what they are now. I hope you see these comments, Sheriff. You are 1000% in the place you’re meant to be. Thank you for your service.

I live in Arizona and travel thru the Navajo Nation often. I'm a retired 2 tour combat Marine and when I wear my Marine Corps cap they take a few moments extra to talk with me. The Navajo have a long relationship with the Marine Corps and the Navajo Code Talkers of WW-2 saved many a Marine and soldiers life during the Pacific campaign. Tom Boyte GySgt.

I'm Navajo. My ancestors are also from the Pueblo and Hopi tribes. I have lived off the reservation after joining the military. My husband is not Navajo and we met at our first duty station. Thank you, Peter for making this video. Our Navajo Nation also has crime and poverty, etc., just like any country or city outside of the reservation. The sheriff seems like a genuine guy and enjoys being around the Navajo. Not feeling out of place or being above Dine' people. Navajos are just ordinary people who are surviving each day like the rest of us.

Thank you so much for your series on different indigenous tribes; this is so valuable, and I hope you’ll continue to visit and revisit these tribes! Sheriff Clouse is so awesome, kind, compassionate, and truly interested and respectful of the tribal members.
