The Navajo were given a reservation in 1868, but continued to encroach on Hopi lands. In 1882, a reservation was created for the Hopi to prevent further encroachment. In 1934, Congress expanded the Navajo reservation, including some Hopi living in the area. Conflict between the tribes continued, leading to a court decision in 1958 giving both tribes joint ownership of the disputed land. The issue remains unresolved, requiring Congress to intervene and determine the rights and interests of both parties.

The disputed area is a strip of land near the Colorado border, and millions of dollars are at stake. The dispute arose from conflicting treaties and acts defining the boundaries of the tribes' territories. The disagreement became more prominent with the discovery of oil in the area. Both tribes entered into a joint leasing agreement, but a supplemental agreement in 1965 removed the disputed strip from the agreement. The legislation being considered would allow for a three-judge court to decide the case with the right of direct appeal to the United States Supreme Court. The Department of the Interior recommended an amendment to clarify that the United States is not a party in the litigation but consents to the settlement of the dispute between the two tribes.
