The Navajo Tribal Council responded to Hopi Council action of impounding Navajo livestock by taking action to build a 160 mile fence between the Navajo and Hopi areas in the disputed Previously Hopi Tribal Chair man Clarence ap before the Navajo Tribal had supported a proposal of the Bureau of Indian Affairs for the government to provide law enforcement in the Navajo leaders reacted sharply to this procedure on the basis that this violates the new spirit of self determination outlined by President Nixon and supported by Indian several leading Navajo Councilmen expressed the opinion that by

Hopi tribe opposed the fencing proposals it was up to the Navajos to put up fencing so that further impoundment of Navajo livestock could be She said this would preserve the grass on the Hopi reservation which had been given as a reason for the impoundment Wauneka stressed that this need not cause the Hopi people concern as complete access to and from their reservation could be Chairman Hamilton had earlier indicated he felt that there would be problems in keeping the Hopis from cutting the fence if it is This contention was refuted by Navajo leaders as they claim fence is the best and possibly the only solution at this time and would protect the Hopi grass at the same time it protected the Navajo MOR TON NAMES HANS WALKER Hans a Mandan was named recently by Secretary of the
