Naabaahii. Warrior. Fighter. Firefighter. In the Navajo culture, a warrior is a person who brings everything to the fight – mind, body and spirit. They are unstoppable, are male and female and are still seen in our world today. Some of these modern warriors are wildland firefighters. Wildland firefighters fight fire using a range of tactics and manpower, including hand crews, hotshot crews, engine crews and helitack crews. The Navajo Helitack program is based out of Fort Defiance, Arizona and is under the umbrella of the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). The program supports special mission efforts such as prescribed burning, fire rehabilitation, personnel transports — including tribal officials and administrative flights, wilderness study flights, search and rescue, forest management flights and often time initial attacks on fires.
