Todacheene After we get back to our country it will brighten up again and the Navajos will be as happy as the land, black clouds will rise and there will be plenty of rain. –Barboncito, 1868 Introduction Traditional Navajos believe the Diné Bahane’1 or the “Navajo creation story” and journey narrative was given to the Navajo people by the Holy Beings. Changing Woman is the Holy Being that created the four original clans of the Navajo and saved humans from the monsters that were destroying the earth.

This Essay connects the federal government’s devastating livestock reduction effort of the 1930s with the inability of the Navajo Nation to place meaningful limits on grazing and the power of grazing permittees. It argues that the Navajo Nation should consider reasserting the tribe’s traditional understanding that property rights depend on use as a way to create space for reservation development. 953 ESSAY CONTENTS INTRODUCTION .................................................................................... 955 I.

The first was the con- tainment of Arizona’s largest fire in the history of the state, recently burn- ing in the White Mountains of the Bear Wallow Wilderness. The blaze eventually dipped into part of western New Mexico—scorching over 538,000 acres total, destroying seventy-two buildings, and at one point causing the evacuation of 10,000 people.1 Started on May 29 by an aban- doned campfire, the conflagration eventually required 1,700 firefighters to suppress the blaze, burning 841 square miles of rugged territory, pri- marily in eastern Arizona. By July 3, 95 percent of the fire was contained, with mop-up crews extinguishing remnants in isolated pockets.
