- H.R. 5647 authorizes the partition of surface rights in the Joint-Use Area of the Hopi and Navajo reservations, with specific acreage allocated to each tribe. The bill also provides for allotments to certain Paiute Indians, directs the removal of Navajos from Hopi lands and vice versa, and includes provisions for compensation, protection of religious sites, and legal actions. An appropriation of $16,000,000 is authorized to implement the provisions of the Act.
