Navajo inventor and family to get 'Makeover' home
Yazzie and family will get a new home in a matter of days thanks to the work of about 800 volunteers. The Yazzies left Tuesday on a "vacation" and will return Tuesday to a new residence on the final day of taping by the ABC network. The program will air as the season premiere in August or September.

Wonderful, but who will pay those taxes?

Good question. I don't know.
The article didn't say if the family lived on tribal land. If they do, I would assume that they don't have to pay property taxes. At least that's the way it is on my Rez.

I think we're talking about income taxes. Winning a house seems equivalent to winning the lottery, for which you have to pay taxes.
You know, you could be right. I don't watch the show that often and I thought Extreme Make Over was along the lines of a charity organization. They always seem to help poor and needy.
