- Description:
- 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.
