Navajo Council Backs DeConcini Amendments on Land
The Navajo Tribal Council urged Congress and the President to support Dennis DeConcini's amendments to the Navajo Hopi Relocation Act of 1974. The proposals would grant life estates to Navajos over 40 in the Joint Use Area, preserve grazing rights, allow improvements, and run until the head or spouse dies. The amendments passed the Senate and await House action before the October adjournment. Percy Deal stated the people have been awaiting this action.
