Someone should tell her to stop crying and do something. Research water filtration systems. Contribute and change your circumstances instead of crying about it. Tears get you no where in life. If you want to be a victim, you will be. Choose not too, and be the change you want. Keep crying and see how far that gets you in life.

Im from a bordertown to the reservation, Farmington. I recommend if you want to help, the best way is sharing this getting the word out that indeed things are NOT better there. They recently (and i mean just DAYS ago) recieved emergency funding from the first stimulus, and it was only a fraction of what they had asked for. This needs to be shared as much as possible to raise awareness, and help to pressure politicians so the Navajo do not go ignored again. Only something huge can save these people. They are dying at nearly the largest rates (per capita) in the US due to the water, but also poor access to healthcare, proper nutrition and all the other things you saw in this news story. So many grandchildren on the Rez being raised by grandparents...so many children are losing the only parents they know. Pray for them. 😢

Everyone please let me pass on my experiences to you. I lived and worked in the Cayman Islands for several years, on Cayman brac one of the smaller sister islands and grand cayman. There was issues with water to homes there also and this water truck system was in place. I had a large water tank outside of my apartment and would call the company up whenever I ran low, usually once a month. It was connected to my home so had running water inside. It is still used in the Cayman Islands and am sure other island living places. I cannot believe the US is not able to finance a simple system like this.

Our hunting grounds have no more room to harvest game. Our lands were raped and disrespected. A land once rich in resources is now dry. White People did not know anything of their own besides playing with rocks and sitting by the fire. Everything you have now has all come from Parent Tribes. You can try to dictate your own failed system, but we know for a fact that you well not be missed.

@PunchingMegaTree You have nothing to go by but political comebacks. No one well miss you too.

Breaks my heart. I hope things get better in the near future. We need to be funding this type of stuff to help them for real.

love you thank you for what your doing ..your heaven sent..

We have dropped over a hundred million in bombs in Afghanistan and Syria in the past ten days, not to mention military operations costs but these poor people are living in pure misery. This County in an embarrassment to it's own people.

Jose Marinez The Navajo are a sovereign nation. Do not make this our problem. This problem is entirety theirs.

Jose Marinez and getting worse by the day I’m afraid. I have an idea. I’m going to get permission to take cases of water to these poor people.

Don't forget the other people that we take of....that doesn't belong to this nation. Yeah. Maybe the money we spend on outsiders (illegals)...could possibly be used to help our own! How come Elizabeth Warren isn't more outspoken on this topic? Too busy getting into catfights with politicians?

Oh how awful to be drove from their land and all these years still treated this way

Darlene is a godsend may God bless her she's saving lives ❤️❤️❤️

"If there's a will, there is a way" We are in the digital era where everything else is almost possible..

It IS sacred! Taking water to those in need! What a Saint 3:21 Amen Darlene Arbeso is a Saint God bless her!

I can't believe this is happening in my state and I never new about this

I would really like to see an update on this worthy news story... 4 years later. Blessings to the Navajo Water Lady!! What really stood out to me was the venture into obtaining EVERY citizen’s right to clean, uncontaminated and available water is it took a man who worked in 3rd world countries to help the people obtain water to recognize these equally beautiful people, the Indigenous of this very land do not have water unless it is trucked in AND the federal government passes the empty bucket to the state who passes the empty bucket to the county who gives the empty bucket to the Navajo and what? Says “oh well?” So this amazing outsider gets down to work to do a great thing and his efforts are based upon, only possible through DONATIONS!! Thanks be to those who donate! But really ? Not only was the Navajo’s land colonized leaving them to fend for themselves on reservation land void of any availability to running water while also taking many natural human and mineral rights and the offending government of this supposedly great country is doing NOTHING?!?!? That is so blatantly WRONG!! It is furthering a crime against humanity! We would all do well to take a lesson on the phenomenal inner and outer strength, the stamina, perseverance, the amazing ability of these people of the Navajo Nation to keep going, to have grateful hearts and respect for life itself and a dignity, integrity, and skill which most in this country have no perception of, no idea of the character and strength it takes to deal with such an ongoing atrocity in this supposedly modern age. They need far more than donations. They need what they deserve and that is for the United States government sees to it that these families have running water in their homes. CBS PLEASE do a follow-up!

So sad to see all the comments pointing the finger around, this water problem must be addressed, it is great that the water lady does a great job in helping, They all need to join together and protest to the government and make it top priority, everyone knows water means life, Navajos have been forgotten about for too long. Get the water problem out to the nation and keep protesting until something gets done. The water lady is certainly an Angel. God bless all Navajos. May the water flow soon.

Sending prayers my fellow native people. So sad to see our native people having to live like this. Prayers from the Menomonee Indian Reservation

Breaks my heart! 💔😭

Thank you water lady for doing what you do . ❤🤗❤⚘

See why I'm great full for everything I have and had ! Since I move to California the USA, to me this nation its always being very generous!!! Even when they have people living In such conditions with in their borders!!! 🙏🙏🙏 I guess nobody is perfect!!!

Everybody deserves running water, in this day of age I'm really surprised.

The Navajo Nation has "4" casinos on it! Does anyone understand that the Navajo's are a sovereign nation within the United States. Maybe I'm wrong but it's seems to me that they are being mistreated by their own Nation because as much money as 4 casinos make, doesn't it seem that they could help their own people get water? That is what is logical to me but maybe I'm wrong.

They are not sovereign territory. they are a sovereign group of people. They don't have sovereign authority over land. They own their land, but don't have sovereign authority over any land.

All people are basically the same, regardless of ethnicity. The greedy gain power through exploitation of the masses, and use that power to generate vulgarly excessive amounts of wealth for themselves at the expense of the people. It's the same in China, the U.S, or the Navajo Nation. It isn't about Ethnicity or skin color. The powers that be simply exploit these differences to keep the poor divided, which is useful in maintaining control over the masses. Racism is good for business.

Darlene you are an angel I wish there were more water trucks to help deliver I call myself a watergirl too do not feel embarrassed I live in the islands and we have no running water luckily it does rain often but we build cisterns under the houses or have big water buffalo tanks to store water using submergible pumps or having a tap on it to drain water if you don't have electricity many kids here are used to conserving water I tell my kids this makes you a stronger person and know how to rough it and be a survivor when we have to rely on ourselves your way of living reminds me of ours but I hope you can do the wells or people can help to donate for buffaloes so elderly people don't have it as hard and shame on the government's they owe you that much I'll pray for you all , one Love

The flower at the end was very nice just like the water angel :)

Love thy neighbor as thy self...

The preserverence of these people amaze me. I am grateful for their spirit and also I am grateful for everything and everyone in my life

This Lady bring more than water, she brings the Light.

This is so sad I know a lot of these people are my grandfathers neighbors

what a story, a story with more story's. We still talking story's ! So many ways to get them water but it could change their way of life right? But seriously so many ways no need to keep digging it would have been done already. 😎🇺🇸

I want to give her a hug !! and she is a Saint !! I love her !!! if this World had more human beeings like her this would be a much better place to live ,God bless her for helping her people with this precious cargo !! Water is Life

thank you for sharing your journey darlene

God bless her. It is a shame that our people can't have the natural resources that we take for granted. Just think what it would be like to have no water. I am a white person that married a navajo. My children are beautiful. I can't believe that this is an issue. Clean water should be available to all people. Shame on our government.

Wow... She is a Blessing. Do she have a Go Fund me Account?

Great spirit please help this family this lady do a great good my prayer are with you all you are all great people

Beautiful lady, inside & out. Much respect to you.

Anyone in these circumstances should not feel shame. Anyone outside of these circumstances should. I know I do. So, so, shameful. Abhorrent and disgusting. How can we let people live this way?

I love water lady I want to come help you!

My heart breaks for them 💔💔 I pray their getting the help & recognition they need bless them 🙏🏽❤️❤️

It disgusts me to see how First Nations people are still being treated. Darlene is truly a life-saver and a saint. She is doing God's work. I lived in Arizona for 5 years and used to tutor a woman from the Navajo Reservation and what I heard about the lack of resources, poverty, and unjust treatment deeply disturbed me.

That’s exactly the way my grandma did it too. Insanity Rez living is insanity

Hey let's start a go fund me for this cause this is a great cause to back I would support it for sure.

wish there were more people like darlene the smiles she puts on their faces tells it all

I’m from New Mexico and still living here I love it here it’s so beautiful 🙂
