Rights probe hits Navajo sovereignty attack
Navajo Attorney General Michael Upshaw denounces a U S Civil Rights Commission inquiry into tribal enforcement of the Indian Civil Rights Act as an attack on sovereignty. The Navajo Nation says the inquiry, to enter unannounced, ignores tribal requests for information and consults with other tribes suspected of involvement. Upshaw cites recent Navajo amendments to protect individual rights and sovereign immunity as alternatives to the act.
