WÁÁSHINDOON —
Santee Lewis, the executive director of the Navajo Nation Washington Office, announced her departure after three years on the job.
Lewis, a Navajo citizen, said her last day was Friday. She did not offer a reason for her exit from the tribe’s office in Washington, D.C., where she has worked on some of the biggest issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, including passage of the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act, which brought billions of dollars in resources to her people.
“It has been a privilege to serve the Navajo people as the Executive Director for the Navajo Nation Washington Office for the past three years,” Lewis wrote in the latest issue of Wááshindoon Weekly.
