Several hundred Navajos attend a two day conference at Cactus Valley Arizona where Hopi traditionalists led by Thomas Benyacaya oppose forced relocation from the Joint Use area. Benyacaya charges land disputes are government driven to access coal and uranium resources. Navajo Chairman Peter MacDonald praises the event as a beginning of a people to people campaign.

A 15 member Bluewater group led by Burr Marley pushes to build a local fire department near Thoreau. They have secured a truck, a tanker, land, and partial equipment, with a foundation poured and a plan to finish next summer if community funding grows. Marley highlights independence from government control and the growing need as the area expands toward McKinley County and the new power plant.
