Item — Box: 67, Folder: 9
Identifier: CAC_CC_009_2_67_9_0019
The Navajo Tribe of Indians is opposed to the position of Senator Barry Goldwater relative to the Navajo-Hopi Land Dispute, as expressed during the hearings before the House Interior Subcommittee on Indian Affairs on May 14 and 15, 1973. The Navajo Tribe believes that Goldwater's position is unfair and unjust, and would have severe economic and social impacts on the lives of Navajo families and individuals situated both inside and outside the 1882 Executive Order Area. The Navajo Tribe further believes that Goldwater's position is incorrect in that the Navajo families and individuals now living in the disputed area of the 1882 Executive Order reservation were authorized to occupy the subject disputed lands for grazing and residential purposes, by appropriate officials of the Department of the Interior.
