<\/p>\r\nBearsun<\/a> has arrived on the Navajo Nation<\/a> as he walks across the United States, raising awareness for health and environmental issues.\r\n

<\/p>\r\nBearsun met with President Jonathan Nez<\/a> on Tuesday, on the Arizona portion of the reservation. He was given the Navajo language translation of his name.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n“Shush<\/em> means bear. J\u00f3honaa\u02bc\u00e9\u00ed<\/em> means sun,” Nez said as he formally welcomed Bearsun to the Navajo Nation in Indian Wells, Arizona<\/a>.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nBearsun<\/a>, who is portrayed by Jesse Larios, began his cross-country journey in Los Angeles, California, in early July. He is walking to New York City, New York, to raise money for mental health, autism, cancer, environmental defense and the disabled community.\r\n

<\/P>\r\n\u201cWe welcome Bearsun to the Great Navajo Nation with open arms and we thank him for raising awareness for issues that impact American citizens, including many Navajo individuals and families,\u201d said Nez. \u201cWe also thank the Navajo people for showing outstanding hospitality as Bearsun travel across our beautiful and sacred Nation.\u201d\r\n

<\/P>\r\nSo far, Bearsun has posted photos<\/a> and a video<\/a> from his time on the Navajo Nation. He is making his way toward Window Rock, the tribal capital, where Nez’s office said another welcome event is being planned.\r\n
