Navajo Tribe's Plea Against Inequitable Legislation: A Series of Telegrams from 1972, 1967-01-01 - 1974-12-31
The document consists of a series of telegrams urging Congressmen to consider the Navajo proposal for a boundary commission before passing legislation that would displace thousands of Navajos from their land. The Navajo Tribal Council expresses concern that the proposed legislation does not provide assurances for displaced Navajos and urges Congressmen to vote against it. The telegrams highlight the long-standing issues in the joint-use area and the lack of consideration for the Navajo position in the legislative process.
