    A nice summary, well worth the viewing time. Now if we can just get it through the great firewall.

    OK I heard that :) If a video has a title, one might be able to find it hosted on some other site. URLs of those that work around here mostly happen to end with .ru

    Which may be entirely coincidental.

    It is a story from the PBS news hour titled:

    Does solar offer hope for off-the-grid Navajo residents?

    My big takeaway was seeing a woman living in a native home and the inside. When I lived in Oklahoma I saw 'parks' with native structures and halls. But these were for the tourists like us. Someone living in native structures, not a dang trailer, was new.

    It looks like the Hopi nation is within the Navaho nation area. I would be interested in details of how each handled native housing.

    Your Venn diagram is correct :)

    Housing, heck, whatever you can stack up from stones and adobe. Hogan is a dome, so roof-beams are not needed. As long as doorway faces east, it's a house.
