Navajos push Congress to block relocation from Hopi lands
Relocation bill introduced by Senators DeConcini and Domenici seeks to halt removals under the Relocation Act and establish a rental system. Navajo leaders and aides foresee little chance this year but discuss possible lame duck actions. The measure would require rent payments if Navajos or Hopis remain on each other’s land, with support from some northern Arizona ranchers wary of land leases changing hands. The decades-long land dispute between Navajo and Hopi nations dates to 1882.
