Item — Box: 67, Folder: 9
Identifier: CAC_CC_009_2_67_9_0015
The text contains resolutions from various groups opposing the Steiger Bill, which would partition the 1882 Executive Order Area between the Hopi and Navajo Tribes of Indians. The groups argue that this would cause unnecessary hardship for the Navajo families living in the area, who have lived there for many generations. They urge the President and Congress to consider other measures that would be more beneficial and fair to both Tribes.
