This includes the Sash Dine’ EcoRetreat resort on the Navajo Reservation. Since the inception of the project, we have endeavored to be respectful of the many positions of the local residents. Due to this principal and some very recent and influential discussions, we have decided to remove all elements that either celebrate or borrow from the cultures of Native America, including • Tipis • Hogans • The Native People Interpretive Center • The Event Plaza will not be programmed with any specific focus on Native American culture. • While partnerships with local people will be sought out, they will not be focused on the Native American experience. The removed items may be replaced by different but similarly scaled and non-culturally- referential glamping units, or with additional types of units already planned for the development (safari tents, cabins, etc.). Sincerely, John D. Gunderman John D. Gunderman T (317) 605-1070 E [email protected] Immediate Release: May 10, 2021 Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission calls to postpone vote on Public Hearing adoption of Ordinance 2021-05, changing the zoning of Two Guns interchange. St. Michaels, Navajo Nation (ARIZ) – During the May 7th Commission meeting, the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission (“Commission”) was informed of a proposed Two Guns Resort to be built at Two Guns interchange on I-40 near the Twin Arrows Casino. The Commission is proposing to Coconino County Board of Supervisors to postpone their vote until all concerns are address by Two Guns Resort. The concerns consist of cultural property appropriation, and the disturbance of archeological sites. It is important the appropriate indigenous human rights standards be employed in this matter. The human rights standard is free, prior and informed consent. This process requires transparency. With multiple indigenous nations, expressing their apprehension of the development, it would be in the best interest to postpone until all concerns are address. Coconino County Board of supervisors will host an online public hearing Wednesday, May 12, 2021 at 5:00pm. The public hearing is to approve or disapprove to expand the General zone from 10 acers to a Resort Commercial Zone that will be 246.7 acers.
