Senate panel ends Indian land hearing in dispute
The Senate subcommittee on Indian affairs closed a daylong hearing on the Hopi Navajo land clash 1.8 million acres in a disputed high desert plateau. Hopis claim half the land. Navajos insist on most of it due to long use. Leaders propose talks with limits, while a House bill would divide the land and cede Tuba City land to Hopis. Senators plan to craft a pathway acceptable to both chambers.

Tuba City students end 24 hour school occupation
About 35 youths ended a 24 hour occupation of Tuba City School District offices after briefing a crowd of around 2 000 at the Community Center. They demanded Indian cultural recognitions and programs, access to religious events, and community improvements. No arrests were made and no action taken against the students. Superintendent Glotfelty said plans to expand Indian culture classes were underway and invited interested students to join curriculum discussions.
