From a Navajo Nation press release:

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – The Navajo Nation President welcomes Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to the Navajo Nation capital on Saturday, Oct. 26, to present the Harris/Walz platform, and the need for Navajos and Arizona Natives to vote in the most crucial election of a generation.

“Whether you believe it or not, your vote determines who sits in the White House and in Congress,” President Nygren said. “Whoever is in the White House is important because as a sovereign Navajo Nation, we will work with the new leader to serve our Diné people."

According to the Arizona 2020 Census, Native people make up 6% of the state’s population. About 300,000 of Arizona’s Natives are old enough to vote.
