Most years, they toss them into the flames, and the ash that rises and then falls over their heads is meant to symbolize the joy they shared.

Even as the sun went down, on a day when the high hit 92 degrees Fahrenheit (33 Celsius) with oppressive humidity, kids wiped sweat from their foreheads, flocked to water coolers to refill bottles and fanned themselves to try to get a breeze going. At the end of the night, they burned their memory notes in a small bucket.

It’s something camps say they’ve been aware of for several years as climate change means rising heat. (AP video/Joshua A.

In homes that lack basic cellphone signals and even electricity, campaigns have pumped money into radio ads, seeking to reach voters on the furthest fringes of society.

Instead of hosting big rallies, voting activists travel to the far reaches of the reservation, paying the entrance fees to local events like goat roping in exchange for young Navajos registering to vote. Others have ridden across the reservation on horseback to excite voters disillusioned by politics, another push to overcome the distances and historic barriers that have long permeated the reservation.Native wood sculptures adorn the yard of Felix Ashley on the Navajo Nation in Dilkon, Ariz., Oct. 12, 2024.
