![["The United States Department of the Interior responds to a request for views on two bills related to the partition of surface rights in the Hopi and Navajo reservations. They recommend letting a court order unfold to resolve the dispute, but suggest that if Congress chooses to partition, the District Court in Arizona should handle it. They also offer amendments to improve an arbitration procedure outlined in one of the bills. The historical background of the dispute between the tribes is provided, including previous attempts to resolve it."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_9a_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Navaho-Hopi%20Dispute,%201973-1974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_9_0002_thumbnail.jpg "\"Department of Interior's Response to Partition and Mediation Bills for Hopi and Navajo Tribes\"")
![["The Subcommittee on Indian Affairs held hearings on H.R. 7421, the Menominee Restoration Act, in Wisconsin and Washington, D.C. Testimony was taken from Menominee tribe members, state and local officials, Administration witnesses, and concerned non-Indian land owners. The Administration supported restoration due to the bleak future of the Menominee without it. State and local officials also supported the bill, with concerns about protecting non-Indian land owners' rights. Menominee witnesses supported restoration citing federal coercion, poverty, cultural problems, and economic burdens. The general public also supported restoration, believing it would repudiate past policies and support Indian self-determination. Non-Indian land owners expressed concerns about taxation, political power, and potential impacts of the legislation on their rights."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_8_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Menominee%20Tribe%20Bills%20(H.R.%207421,%20H.R.%209078),%20Background,%20Analysis,%20Amendments,%20Summary%20of%20Hearings/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_8_0013_thumbnail.jpg "\"Overview of Hearings and Testimonies on the Menominee Restoration Act (H.R. 7421)\"")
