I can verify at least part of this video, and that would lend credence to the rest, to my mind.
I was, for 4 or 5 years, a Customer Service Manager for Frontier Communications. That is without a doubt a crap company, but I digress.
Frontier covers at least a part of the Navajo Res, and some of that coverage is around Shiprock. When folks there would have a problem they needed to have fixed, they would call in to create a service order, but ran into trouble because there are no house numbers there. There was no address to send a service man to in order to fix the malfunction.
That caused no end of frustration to both Frontier and the Navajo that lived there. I found a way around it, because I come from a place where directions did not involve addresses when I was growing up - directions were more like "the second lane on the left past the old rusting combine sitting in the corner of the field" more like that than say, a house number.
So I would just get good solid directions for the service men off of landmarks.
Other folks seemed to have problems with that, so I had a lot of Navajo calls escalated to me.
But I gotta tell ya, I have a real hankering for one of those res "smash burgers", and I'm so far away...
