50 Years Ago

As members of a Navajo activist group, Indians Against Exploitation, began preparing to hold protests at the 1970 Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial, a federal judge made a ruling on a protest held at the 1969 event.

Many readers of the Navajo Times learned that there are actually two Hopi governments. Well, actually an official government and an official anti-government.

While Gallup residents are making last minute preparations for the 1970 Ceremonial, the 1969 Ceremonial will take center stage in Santa Fe.

The Navajo Tribe received some really good news 50 years ago this week from the Peabody Coal Company.

The Navajo Times has taken up the cause of a Navajo man from Leupp, Arizona, who spent 12 days in a Flagstaff jail for trying to steal a pint of whisky from a convenience store.
