![["The Chairman of the Navajo Tribal Council is writing to Mr. Happy Camp to urge him to consider the impact of a bill that would expel thousands of Navajos from their land. The letter outlines the history of the land and the legal disputes surrounding it, and proposes a compromise solution that would be fair to both Navajos and Hopis. The Chairman emphasizes the importance of finding a humane and cost-effective solution to the issue."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_9_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Navaho-Hopi%20Dispute,%201972-1973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_9a_0002_thumbnail.jpg "\"Chairman of Navajo Nation Appeals Against Displacement Bill, Seeks Humane Solution\"")
![["The chairman of the Navajo Tribal Council writes to clarify the relationship between labor unions and the Navajo Tribe in the context of the Navajo-Hopi land dispute. He explains that the tribe is working to prioritize local residents for construction jobs and negotiate apprenticeship training agreements with unions to address the issue of high unemployment among the Navajo people. The chairman also mentions seeking help from unions and corporations to prevent Congress from passing a law that would harm the tribe, emphasizing that any agreements made must stand on their own merit."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_9_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20Navaho-Hopi%20Dispute,%201972-1973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_9a_0001_thumbnail.jpg "\"Addressing the Navajo-Hopi Land Dispute and the Role of Labor Unions in Navajo Employment Opportunities\"")
![["The document is from Ross Swimmer, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, to Congressmen Risenhoover and Jones requesting their help in discussing the need for a replacement hospital in Tahlequah in closed hearings of the House on Indian Health Service appropriations. Swimmer mentions that planning money for the facility was deleted from the budget and asks for assistance in getting it included. He also mentions the possibility of funding through new local Public Works funding. Congressman Jones responds expressing his awareness of the need for modern medical facilities and willingness to cooperate with initiatives in the area. Congressman Risenhoover' s office is uncertain about having Mr. Swimmer testify."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Legislative%20Series,%201968-1986/CAC_CC_109_7_25_23_0000-Appropriations%20-%20Interior%20-%20Indian%20Health%20Care,%201977/thumbnails/Thumbnails/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_109_7_25_23_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Cherokee Nation Chief requests help for hospital funding, uncertain response.")
