The Hopi-Navajo land dispute is a long-standing conflict between two Native American tribes over a large area of land in the southwestern United States. Various bills have been proposed in Congress over the years to try to resolve the issue, but the most recent ones (H.R. 5647, H.R. 10337, H.R. 7716, and H.R. 7679) all have different approaches. H.R. 5647 would remove all Navajo families from the Hopi area within 5 years, while H.R. 10337 would only remove them if determined by a tribal agreement or arbitrated settlement. H.R. 7716 would provide funds for both tribes to relocate their families, while H.R. 7679 would partition the land between the two Tribes.
