While Navajo Nation council member Erwin Keeswood follows the Department of Interior's consultation wagon around Indian Country, a group of families near his land in New Mexico go without electricity.

Keeswood has denied permission for the tribe's utility authority to serve power to five families and their 20 children. The families used to have rights on the land until their matriarch Helen Yazzie sold them.

Keeswood then purchased the rights.
