Three Score and Ten in Retrospect
The Hopi also continued to express their concern about Navajo land use and occupation of territory within the 1882 Executive Order Reservation. Events within the Bureau of Indian Affairs during the 1931 to 1943 period had tended to reinforce the implied settlement of Navajos in the Hopi 1881 Reservation with the approval of the Secretary of the Interior, first evidenced by Commissioner Rhoads' letter of February 7, 1931, endorsing Hageman's 1930 recommendation that the reservation be divided. Actions taken by BIA officials, resulting in the administration af the 1882 reservation for both Hopis and Navajos, conveyed an inference that, with the establishment of Land Management District 6, in 1936, Navajos were settled in the reservation with the right of use and occupancy. However, the Solicitor's Opinion of 1941 gave evidence that Navajo rights were not exclusive and could not be made exclusive without Hopi consent. With the final establishment of a boundary for Hopi District 6 in 1943, the BIA had effected an administrative separation of the two tribes within the 1882 reservation. In 1946 a Solicitor's Opinion held that Navajos who settled on the 1882 reservation prior to October 24, 1936, had co-extensive rights with Hopis in respect to the mineral estate. By the Navajo-Hopi Rehabilitation Act of April 19, 1950, Congress authorized appropriations of $88.5 million "to conserve and develop natural resources, provide employment opportunities, develop business enterprises, relocate Indians, improve educational programs," and other measures designed to improve the standard of living for members of both tribes, on both reservations, but in 1954 the Commissioner reported that the resource base for both Hopis and Navajos was inadequate. In "Hopi Hearings, July 15-30, 1955," p. 370, Lawrence Lomavaya from First Mesa mentioned the problem of disunity among some of the Hopi factions associated with their representation by a single attorney: Five years ago the Hopi Tribal Council hired us an Attorney at Law.. .Mr. John S. Boyden, Salt Lake City, Utah. He began his work and has been hard at it ever since to get all the facts
