(Above) These two men were both on the Navajo Nation, and both have resigned after their connections with Epstein were exposed. Miroslav Lajčák, Slovakian, was President of the U.N. General Assembly when he was in Monument Valley and told Epstein of his travel plans there. His emails with Epstein are lewd discussions about available women. Joi Ito, Japanese American, told Epstein that he was on the Navajo Nation. Joi was director of MIT Media Lab and funded by Epstein. MIT carried out a health screening of preschoolers on the western Navajo Nation after Joi was there, according to Censored News research.

The newly released Epstein files reveal that Jeffrey Epstein's associates were on the Navajo Nation and that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson kept Epstein informed of his dealings with Navajo President Ben Shelly.

The Epstein files reveal two of Epstein's associates were on the Navajo Nation and told Epstein of their plans after he was convicted of sex crimes in 2008. 
The President of the United Nations General Assembly, Slovakian, shared his travel plans with Epstein to go to Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation.

Another of Epstein's associates headed up the tech media of MIT and told Epstein he was on the Navajo Nation.

MIT carried out screening of preschool children on the western portion of the Navajo Nation in Shonto, Tuba City and Monument Valley, a disturbing fact coming after the release of the Epstein Files.

Further, an unverified email claims that a Navajo held the key to all of Epstein's vaults. Those vaults contained the photos and videos of the sexual abuse of children were reportedly used to blackmail the leaders of the world as a method of control.

Following the release of more than 2 million of Epstein Files, Censored News is now researching these files for ties to the Navajo Nation and Indian country.

Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Kennedy, Jr., were on a fossil-hunting trip on Pine Ridge, as shown in the documents just released in the Epstein case by the U.S. Department of Justice. The Epstein files also reveal former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson at the Epstein ranch in New Mexico.

On the fossil hunting trip on Pine Ridge, Epstein, Kennedy and others arrived in Rapid City, South Dakota. The exact location of the fossil hunting on Pine Ridge is not revealed.

However, in the resistance to dinosaur hunters, Lakotas' Tokala Society maintained a resistance camp on the Stronghold in the Badlands in 2003 to protect the Ceremonial area from dinosaur hunters who were planning to excavate the sacred ground. The Stronghold is where the people fled for Ceremony after the Massacre at Wounded Knee.
