SJC Utah Navajo Trust Testimony
Testimony to the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs at the December 9, 2009 hearing on S.1690 to amend the Act of March 1, 1933, to transfer certain authority and resources to the Utah Dineh Corporation Submitted by Kenneth Maryboy, San Juan County (Utah) Commission Introduction My name is Kenneth Maryboy and I am one of only two Navajo Nation Council Delegates representing Utah Navajos within in the Navajo Nationʼs 88 member legislature. I am also a San Juan County Commissioner and a member of the Board of Directors of the Utah Dineh Corporation, a nonprofit organization created to be a trustee of the Utah Navajo Trust Fund for Navajo Indians residing in San Juan County. I submit this testimony to you on behalf of the San Juan County Commission to bring to this Committeeʼs attention the inappropriateness of the Navajo Nation government to be a trustee of the Utah Navajo Trust Fund, given the Navajo Nationʼs pattern of malfeasance and neglect. San Juan County believes that the Navajo Nation government, which is located in Window Rock, Arizona, and provides few if any government services to Utah Navajos, does not have the best interest of Utah Navajos at heart when it asserts a vague argument of tribal sovereignty to wrestle away control of the Utah Navajo Trust Fund from Utah Navajos. The Navajo Nationʼs heretofore disinterest in its own members who reside within the Utah strip of the Navajo Nation is the very reason why San Juan County has stepped up to the plate to deliver essential government services to Utah Navajos who live within the 1,550,000 acres of the Navajo reservation that constitute the southern region of our 7,821 square mile county. -
Chapter Summit Empowers Navajo Chapters, Provides New Ideas Happened in the 1980S, When Former Chairman Peterson Zah Was in Office
Chapter summit empowers Navajo chapters, provides new ideas happened in the 1980s, when former Chairman Peterson Zah was in office. What followed was President Albert Hale’s successful bid for Navajo Nation President on the platform of local empower- ment. “In 1998, the Local Governance Act came into existence,” Mitch- ell said. “It’s been over 12 years this law has been in place. “But to me, LGA and those working with it are barely on their feet now. We will move forward with it,” he added. Shonto Chapter was the first chapter to get certified in September 1999. Nahata Dziil would be next for certification in August 2002, followed by Cornfields Chapter in May 2003. Five more chapters became certified in 2007 and 2008. Navajo Nation Division of Community Development Director Arbin Mitchell said Local Governance Act certified chapters often ask what to do next once However, the certification process stalled in 2008 and would not they attain certification. The chapter summit provided Navajo communities pickup again until 2010, when Community Development worked a chance to listen to new ideas and provide feedback from their perspective.
