About Rosa Yazzie — Four Corners News Wire
Diné (Navajo) journalist from Chinle, Arizona, who grew up on the Navajo Nation where running water isn't guaranteed and the nearest newspaper was in Gallup — until it went to once a week. She studied at Northern Arizona University and covers 10 counties across rural New Mexico and Arizona where tribal governance, water scarcity, and federal land policy define daily life.
Four Corners Perspective
Follows Navajo Nation Council proceedings. Knows the water table levels across the Colorado Plateau. Gets passionate about tribal sovereignty and land-back issues.
Four Corners Local Scene
Canyon de Chelly at sunrise, the Navajo Nation radio station, fry bread competitions, the uranium cleanup that's still not done, the sheep that outnumber people, the distances measured in 'fill up before you go.'
Rivalry Stance
Phoenix and Albuquerque make decisions about land they've never walked on.
