    The 22nd Navajo Nation Council — Office of the Speaker Contact: Michael Wero, Communications Director Phone: (928) 871-7160 (928) 255-3428 [email protected] March 22, 2011 www.navajonationcouncil.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Speaker Naize Looks to Economic Cooperation with Twin Arrows Groundbreaking Leupp, AZ — At Monday’s groundbreaking of the Navajo Nation’s fourth casino operation, Navajo Nation Council Speaker Johnny Naize told the audience that through economic cooperation the Nation, other Arizona tribes, and their neighboring communities can continue to grow and benefit from the native gaming industry. “Traditionally, the Navajo Nation and the city of Flagstaff haven’t had the best relations on how to allocate natural resources or how to accommodate culturally significant sites, like the San Francisco Peaks, in our search to better our economic environments,” said Speaker Naize. “I’m hoping this project, though the jobs and revenue it generates, will lead to more understanding between our communities.” Naize also reiterated that as Navajo gaming operations expand, they must also remain as a tool to generate economic opportunities for the other new and existing industries that would employ many Navajos. He noted this in the project’s commitment to reducing the high unemployment rate on the Navajo Nation. “Some have criticized the Navajo Nation’s use of its Navajo Employment Preference Law, but it has leveled the playing field for small Navajo businesses to participate in the construction of these larger projects,” said Naize. “I have been informed that, besides the Navajo employees that will go to work once this facility is completed, the primary construction company building this project will also focus on using Navajo labor.” Being the first Navajo casino operation in Arizona, Naize called on continuing a positive relationship with the state and its gaming tribes.

  • Challenging Colonial Water Laws • Andrew Curley
    “Our Winters’ Rights”: Challenging Colonial Water Laws • Andrew Curley Abstract Much of the scholarship on Indigenous water rights in the United States focuses on legal and political rights awarded or denied in water settlements. This article highlights the voice of settlement opponents within Diné communities over the proposed Little Colorado River Settlement in 2012 between the Navajo Nation and Arizona. Using interviews with key actors, observations of water hearings, and a mini focus group with settlement opponents, my research finds that the proposed water settlement produced contradictory logics, practices, and frameworks that combined two “traditions of Indigenous resistance,” one rooted in the language of self-determination and sovereignty and the other in emerging notions of decolonization. This hybridity of seeking increased water recognition within colonial law, while advocating for decolonial waterscapes, speaks to the complicated and fundamen- tally entangled political landscapes of Indigenous peoples. Ultimately, in opposing the water settlement, Diné opponents and community members demonstrate that they seek to rectify the injustice of ongoing settler colonialism and realize their collective capabil- ities as nations, not “Indians,”“tribes,” or “minorities” within and against the authorities of the colonial state. On April 5, 2012, US senators Jon Kyl and John McCain from Arizona met with Navajo Nation Council delegates in the western Diné community of Tuba City. Their intentwastopersuadelawmakerstosettleNavajoclaimstotheLittleColoradoRiver, a dry and shallow waterway that originates high in the mountains of central Arizona and concludes at the confluence of the main Colorado River, just north of the Grand Canyon. The settlement established the terms by which the Navajo Nation would forever “resolve” its collective claims to the river in exchange for small water infra- structure and remaining waters after upstream diversions are taken into account.

In the past few months, we have seen the vast and varied strength of our people. Our strength showed in numbers and in silence, but now we must begin to look ahead and come together again as the Navajo Nation. We must move forward to make the state of the Navajo Nation stronger.
