Dine Scalpers
-------- This BIO is a work in progress, please note it isn't finalized and therefore a little difficult to follow -------
Due to the challenges on the Navajo Reservation, we are a small group attempting to develop remote business opportunities and currently learning to day trade online and bring new opportunities to an area that has consistently held an unemployment rate 40 plus percent. Our organization is in the final stages of registering our company with the Navajo Nation and developing a non-profit arm to provide other much needed services to our communities. We are currently developing our internet presence, trading methodologies, and ways successful individuals and the business community can help us fund our venture and ultimate growth.
Our current broker only accepts Crypto currencies for deposits into the trading accounts. If your are able and would care to contribute to our development, here is our Coinbase Wallet Bitcoin address. , it is case sensitive and must be put in exactly as seen.

-------------------------- OUR HISTORY ------------------------------
We initially did trading not to long after the market became available for retail traders back around 2000. At that time, after much study we were reasonably successful on Demo but didn't successfully get setup on a Live account due to a return to the Navajo (Dine) Reservation where access to reliable internet was nearly non-existent even in the major cities that surround the reservation.
Based on this limitation, the first challenge was to look for other opportunities to develop and search for broadband capabilities. We developed a small localized (Navajo Nation) non-profit, called Nahashch'idi Bikeya Hahoodzooigii, which worked towards these goals. This organization worked toward recognition with the surrounding localities and began working on grants.
Although the Recession of 2008, also called the The Great Recession, took the wind out of the sails of the organization due to funding drying up there was one successful story to come out of this organization that is still here today. The actions of this organization resulted in the placement of towers in our small towns through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Broadband Initiative. Two representatives for our little non-profit were the only independent representatives to voice the needs of the Navajo general public. Although it took years of continued development, these towers are now being used by NTUA Wireless through Choice Wireless to provide Cellphone and Home internet services to include free phones for elderly and individuals on Medicaid and Medicare. It is this Network that Dine Scalpers now operates on.

Due to the lack of funding, the non-profit activities were set aside and other activities were engaged in since broadband development by the Navajo Tribal Utility is a slow process and continues to expand their reach to eventually encompass the entire Navajo Nation. However, the dream of creating opportunities such as Day Trading never went away.
------------------------- What is the Navajo Nation ------------------------------
The Navajo Nation is where the Navajos (Dine in our language) live. We are located in Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico officially on the map but include the southwest corner of Colorado as well. Our people were
------------------------- Navajo Nation Challenges ------------------------------
Life on a Native American Indian reservation is generally not a glamourous one and the Navajo Nation is no exception. There are many challenges that face our people and far to many to list but, we have a deep connection to it and are working to develop opportunities from here. Below are some of the realities we face.
--> STREET ADDRESSES - This may seem like a simple thing but, in truth, it is a huge challenge. Most businesses get access to the FEDEX or UPS data bases and they do not recognize our addresses. We do not have street addresses, however, we have P.O. Boxes and those are not even how most would think of a Post Office Box number setup. Our address is HCR ### Box ### Suite #### - The HCR stands for HIghway Contract Route, which means USPS doesn't actually work it but a contracted company, and lets them know which "sub-station" it goes to for routing, then the BOX number lets them know which one of the little towns it goes to from there and finally the Suite #### is our actual box number within the community at the local Trading Post. If you have a package, you ask for it from the person behind the counter where you pay for your gas, soda, and snacks.
This is pretty extreme but, within this same region is the Havasupai people that continue to receive their mail from the U.S. Postal Service on the backs of mules. Lets see FedEx, UPS, or Amazon drones deliver their packages here! Here is an article about their location, which is beautiful to visit, to further demonstrate the remoteness we have in this region.

--> UNEMPLOYMENT RATE - This is a huge challenge for our people here on the reservation. Although the figures vary a bit from time to time, they are typically reported locally and through certain authors that research it deeply that we generally have an over 50% unemployment rate. Our average household income is half that of the national average and the per capita income is well below $10,000. Here are a couple of sites to show some of the numbers.

--> JOB OPPORTUNITIES - Based on the information provided above concerning our employment rate, one could deduce that there are limited job opportunities around the Navajo Nation. However, this isn't the worst of it. In an attempt to bring in jobs, the Navajo Nation Business Development group helps bring in opportunities but, just about everyone of them drain the federal funding provided and never solidify the business. They are just here to milk the grant and run. Sadly, the same business development group tends to put out their requirements for even small jobs in such a way that Navajo owned business can't qualify. Examples of this are high insurance requirements, extensive experience with large bonding capabilities, and other things that just shows they aren't trying to develop Navajo owned business like the Veteran's organizations help U.S. Veteran's get their businesses off the ground.
In fact, even the Federal Government gets in bed with the outside companies to keep us down and before you say that we are just dreaming that up, the P&M mine was found guilty twice of working with the government to keep the value of products and ended up being able to work a settlement that was kept "mum's the word". See this article which is limited in description but provides you an example.
https://navajotimes.com/news/2011/0811/081811mine.php
The stories that reservations make big money from casinos just isn't true. For example, our Fire Rock Casino has been listed as a positive example of a business creating opportunities for our people. However, there is a reality pill our leaders need to swallow and quit pretending its a success. If you visit the casino, almost every person there is Native American, if not Navajo. There is no highway exit near the casino to entice outside business, so the majority of its clientele is going to be local. The local businesses talk about how there just isn't the money in the town anymore. The casino is taking it right out of their own people's pocket and putting it into the outsiders that actually manage the casino with a little coming back to our people. In addition, employees drive in excess of 50 miles one way to go to work, absorbing much of their paltry checks to pay for gas.
BECAUSE OF THIS, all efforts we successfully develop are to be setup with Navajo Ownership and Management.
--> HOUSING CONDITIONS - The housing and living conditions on the Navajo Nation are considered third world by many and there have been many things written about it but, much of this information isn't generally reported on the national level. Study after study show different challenges we have with our housing and living conditions. One of the biggest claims says that the remoteness makes it difficult to build homes, however, there are many, many people and groups that continue to make homes and communities across the United States which are completely off-the-grid. The corruption of our organizations is the same as the federal government agencies in that it is a place to keep making jobs but not actually perform any work. NHA claims they manage 8500 homes across the Navajo Nation, however, there are other sites that state they have upwards of 400 employees. This means the average employee would have to manage only 20 to 30 homes each and yet they can't do it. If you also take into consideration that most of these homes are not maintained by NHA past the warranty period, they don't actually manage any where near 8500 homes except to take them back away from the people in need.
It is reported that over half the Navajo Nation households have no running water, indoor plumbing for bathroom and no or incomplete kitchen facilities. Although this comes from the NHA website, don't think they have any intention of correcting it, the second article shows how they can only manage to build 500 homes a year in a place that has been documented to need over 35,000. At that rate and the fact that people are still making families, NHA will never be able to manage to house our people effectively.

The living conditions are a challenge and the individual chapters (cities) are now becoming aloud to manage their own development through a self-governance process but, everything moves slow on the reservation. It is the chapters that have received their certifications that our organization will be working with to create new opportunities. Review this video to see how life really is here on our beautiful nation.

This is also a very interesting article with additional links provided at the bottom to show the pathetic management of the housing situation here on the reservation.
