- Description:
- The Navajo-Hopi Settlement Act aims to separate the interests of the Hopi and Navajo Tribes in certain lands set aside by an Executive order in 1882. It confirms exclusive rights for the Hopi Tribe in certain lands within the Navajo Reservation in Arizona and addresses the need for a fair settlement of their conflicting land interests. The Act aims to prevent the expulsion of Navajo families from the joint-interest area and ensure both tribes receive an equal share of the land's value.
