The Little Colorado River-Cameron Community Vendors Association (L.C.R-C.C.V.A.) speak up on behalf of the vendors who sale at the First View Point on Highway 64. For nearly a decade the partnership between Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation (N.N.P.&R.) and the First View Point Vendors has been non-existing. N.N.P.&R. First View Point management do not represent the First View Point Vendors to their best interest. In a chain of events, management has cut the First View Point's business hours, taken a fence down with out considering the vendors concerns, and attempted to remove the vendors due to the N.N.P.&R. construction of a access road and a paved parking area that did not include the vendors booth site. The attempted removal was brought to the L.C.R-C.C.V.A.'s attention. In efforts to protect the First View Point vendors' source of income the L.C.R.-C.C.V.A met with the Navajo Nation Resource and Development Committee (R.D.C.) on August 23, 2017 asking for support in developing a positive and transparent partnership with N.N.P.&R. A presentation was delivered to all who attended the meeting. The importance of the livelihood was stressed upon by the Cameron community and the L.C.R.-C.C.V.A.

 

  Currently, L.C.R.-C.C.V.A. and the Cameron Community await contact from N.N.P.&R. management team Martin Begay and Helen Webster.
