Morgan and the 21st Navajo Nation Council presented representatives from the Havasupai Tribe with gifts of appreciation because the Havasupai Tribe, other tribes and the Navajo Nation formed a united tribal front to oppose snowmaking on Dook’o’slííd. Thomas Walker Jr. (Birdsprings/Leupp/Tolani Lake), who advocated for the Navajo Nation, presented gifts to Edmund Tilousi, Vice Chair of the Havasupai Tribe, Carletta Tilousi, councilwoman for the Havasupai Tribe and Hertha Woody, Sierra Club volunteer, of Shiprock, N.M. Left to right: Eric Descheenie, Legislative Staff Assistant; Thomas Walker, Council Delegate (Birdsprings/Leupp/Tolani Lake); Carletta Tilousi, Havasupai Tribe Councilwoman: Hertha Woody, Sierra Club Volunteer. Absent is Edmund Tilousi, Havasupai Tribe Vice Chair. (Photo by Speaker Morgan and the 21st Navajo Nation Laphillda Tso) Council are grateful for the relationship that has been built with the Havasupai Tribe. The Havasupai’s involvement in helping form a united tribal front, along with the Navajo Nation, protects the sanctity of the San Francisco Peaks -- Dook’o’oslííd, which ultimately made a significant difference in the Flagstaff City Council’s decision to disapprove the substitute water sale agreement to make artificial snow at the Arizona Snowbowl.

  • Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Decision Delivers Significant Victory for the Navajo Nation
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 29, 2021 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision delivers significant victory for the Navajo Nation WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – On Wednesday, the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the District Court for the District of Arizona that previously dismissed the Navajo Nation’s 2003 lawsuit against the U.S. Department of the Interior, related to the Nation’s water rights. In the 2003 lawsuit, the Navajo Nation asserted that the Secretary of Interior had taken various actions relating to the management of the Colorado River in breach of the federal government's trust obligations to protect the water resources of the Navajo Nation or to secure and protect water supplies from the Colorado River necessary for the needs of the Navajo Nation in Arizona. “Water resources are becoming a greater concern for the southwest portion of the United States. Over 150 years after the signing of the Treaty of 1868 between the Navajo people and the United States, we are still having to fight for water allocations. Today’s ruling is due to the hard work and commitment of the Navajo Nation Department of Justice, under Attorney General Doreen McPaul. I commend their team and offer my continued support for them,” said Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez. The U.S. District Court of Arizona previously dismissed the Navajo Nation’s lawsuit on the grounds that the U.S. had not waived its sovereign immunity. The Navajo Nation appealed to the Ninth Circuit, and in 2017, the Court joined the majority of Circuits in holding that the Administrative Procedures Act waives the sovereign immunity of the U.S.
