Besides having specific implications for the formation of these particular features, our project will aid in understanding similar structures across the Colorado Plateau. Various researchers [e.g., Rubin, 1991; Mériaux and Jaupart, 1998; Segall et al., 2001] imagine the emplacement of a dike as vertical movement through host rock, often along preexisting faults or cracks, driven by magma pressure, and modified by the change in stress regime with depth. Other models [e.g., Delaney and Pollard, 1981; Quareni et al., 2001] allow magma to flow in pipes in addition to, and possibly following, its emplacement in dikes. Our results will provide valuable data against which to test such competing models of magma emplacement, and Figure 1: View of the Ship Rock diatreme from the – in a wider sense – aid in understanding diverse South-East (Photo: Brett Mayhew) processes like hydraulic fracturing, tensile fracturing, and dike-generated seismicity [Baer, Seven dikes of mafic minette (a potassic mica 1991]. lamprophyre containing phlogopite) extend from the diatreme.

81 THE WASHINGTON PASS VOLCANIC CENTER: EVOLUTION AND ERUPTION OF MINETTE MAGMAS OF THE NAVAJO VOLCANIC FIELD S.N. Ehrenberg (Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90024) Minettes of the Navajo Volcanic Field are of interest because they formed at depths of at least 150 km and appear to be genetically related to kimberlite diatremes. Minettes and their extrusive equivalents (tra- chybasalts) at the 2 km diameter subsidence crater at Washington Pass were chosen for detailed study because of the relatively well-developed eruptive history displayed in the crater stratigraphy and the presence of contrasting mafic and trachytic lavas. Eruption began with ejection of voluminous pyroclastic deposits, including both tuff-breccias, composed predominantly of comminuted sediments with subordinate minette and cry¬ stalline basement fragments, and agglomerates, composed mainly of minette clasts. These deposits are thickest (>100 m) on the east and west sides of the crater, where they are exposed in cliffs produced by landsliding. On the west, tuff-breccias predominate and exhibit a remark¬ able alternation of coarse- and fine-grained beds 0.1 - 1 m thick, suggest¬ ive of rhythmic variation in the physical properties in the eruptive med¬ ium. On the east, the pyroclastic materials are mostly agglo¬ merates. Low-angle cross-bedding is common in all the pyroclastic beds, but in the eastern agglomerates this feature is accompanied by dune structures. Some of these formed by accretion on the lee side, while others display accretion on the side facing the crater. Asymmetrical bomb sags are also abundant in this area. -

Morgan announced the Legislative Branch of the Navajo Nation will observe Navajo Nation Memorial Day 2009 — a tribal holiday — on Monday, June 1. Accordingly, all Legislative Branch offices will be closed and normal business hours will resume promptly at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, June 2. “Please take a moment during this special day to reflect on the enormous sacrifices made by past and present military personnel of the Navajo Nation,” Speaker Morgan said. “Let us pause to honor and acknowledge the dedicated service of the thousands of servicemen and women who selflessly gave their lives in battle. Let us also pause to remember our Navajo warriors from 1868 and beyond. Our Navajo warriors, many who died protecting Diné Bikéyah, Navajoland, and our past Navajo chiefs, such as Manuelito, Barboncito, Narbona, Ganado Mucho and Mariano helped sustain us as a Navajo people.” On May 18, 1978, the Navajo Tribal Council passed a resolution declaring June 1 to be known as Navajo Nation Memorial Day within the Navajo Nation. The resolution states, “June 1st -

DESCRIPTORS Academic Achievement; Adult Education; *American Indian Education; American Indians; *Demonstration Programs; *Educational Practices; Elementary Secondary Education; Evaluation Criteria; Higher Education; Program Descriptions ABSTRACT This book presents 16 exemplary programs in schools that enroll American Indian or Alaska Native students. Exemplary, by definition, means the top 5 percent of education programs in student outcomes. In most cases, these programs are in the top 1 percent. Each program entryincludes contact information, a narrative description, and in some cases, awards received, documentation of student outcomes, and other relevant information. Schools range from elementary through college and include public, private, tribal, and nonprofit. Programs address student support services, comprehensive school improvement, dropout prevention, adult education, college preparation, technology integration, and other areas. All 16 programs are summarized on one page in the beginning of the book, and program characteristics are presented in chart form. A brief history of Indian education is followed by a description of the 11 elements that are characteristic of exemplary programs: acknowledgement of the problem; set priorities for problems; vision, planning; commitment; restructuring and retraining; goal setting; experimentation, testing, and evaluation; outreach; expertise; and administrative support. -

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.

Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history. -
Shiprock Disposal Site Observational Site Visit
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF Legacy EN ERGYI Management Shiprock, New Mexico, Disposal Site This fact sheet provides information about the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation ControlAct of 1978 Title I disposalsite at Shiprock, New Mexico. This site is managed by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Legacy Management. Site Description and History The Shiprock site is the location of a former uranium- and vanadium-ore-processing facility within the Navajo Nation in the northwest corner of New Mexico near the town of Shiprock, approximately 28 miles west of Farmington. Kerr-McGee built the mill and operated the facility from 1954 until 1963. Vanadium Corporation of America purchased the mill and operated it until it closed in 1968. The milling operations created process- related wastes and radioactive tailings, a predominantly sandy material. The mill, ore storage area, raffinate ponds (ponds that contain spent liquids from the milling process), and tailings piles occupied approximately 230 acres leased from the Navajo Nation. In 1983, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Navajo Nation entered into an agreement for site cleanup. By September 1986, all tailings and associ- ated materials (including contaminated materials from offsite vicinity properties) were encapsulated in the disposal cell built on top of the existing tailings piles.
