Michael Pinto, brother of Manuel Pinto from the first episode in this series, has so much to share with us. We spend much of our time together talking about the surrounding mesas and other land formations. Along the endless horizon, Michael describes the route he took as a 9-year-old boy shepherding his herd 30+ miles in a day. The land feels timeless, but there's evidence of change: In the checkerboard area that is the eastern edge of the Navajo Nation, you'll find 4 miles of solar panels near Pueblo Pintado, mostly on private land not part of the Navajo Nation. And if you look further, you'll find 200+ Tesla megapacks. Finally, we delve a little into the NAC, Native American Church, which blends together traditions from many tribes. There aren't many medicine men left, Michael says, who practice the traditional Dine' ways. Join me as I reminisce with him about sledding on car hoods and learn there are some topics that will have to wait to be discussed until winter.
