Navajo chairman Peter Mac Donald lauds a federal bill to stop relocation of Navajos and Hopis from the former Joint Use Area, saying it preserves 100 years of residence and reduces hardship. Hopi Chairman Ivan Sidney calls the measure a disgrace and surprising, forecasting strong opposition from the Hopi Tribe. The bill, introduced by Sens DeConcini and Domenici, would repeal the 1974 act partitioning 1.8 million acres and pay Hopis a fair rental for lands occupied pre Navajos.

Resolutions against the project have been adopted by the Eastern Navajo Agency Council and several chapters citing safety grazing, religious sites, and burial concerns.

A state appropriation request of $28000 was filed, with a decision expected in January. The group also postponed the Indian arts show to next spring and named a nominating committee for the executive board.
