Scope and Contents

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.

They urge the President and Congress to consider other measures that would be more beneficial and fair to both Tribes.
