I was being kind to the writer in my response. Actually, he was also implying
that the Navajo have an inherent right to the land "the creator gave them".
That, frankly, is reinventing history, since the Navajo came down from Alaska
or NW Canada only a few hundred years ago.
I'm not siding with either tribe. It's just like the Lubicon/Woodland Cree
situation. I get awfully suspicious when I get only one side of an argument
from supporters of the much larger, more politically active tribe.
