They declared his position as unfair and unjust, stating that the Navajo families residing in the disputed area were authorized to occupy the land for grazing and residential purposes. They also refuted Goldwater's claim that there was plenty of spare land on the Navajo Reservation, stating that all available land had already been allocated for grazing and other uses. The Council emphasized that any action to deprive individuals of their land rights would be a violation of their constitutional rights.
