The Healing v. Jones case was a landmark case that determined the rights and interests of the Hopi and Navajo Tribes to the 1882 Executive Order Reservation. The case was decided in favor of the Hopi Tribe, who were found to have the exclusive interest in the reservation lands within Land Management District 6. The Navajo Tribe was found to have joint, undivided, and equal interests in the reservation lands outside of Land Management District 5.
