50 Years Ago

If you were one of the 325 people who worked for Navajo Forest Products Industries at the beginning of 1969, you must have felt privileged.

The 1,200 or so employees of the Navajo Tribe received some good news this week: they would eventually be getting a raise.

For a number of reasons, students in America, France and Germany became fascinated with the Navajo and their way of life in the late 1960s.

This was, at first, expected to be a lot more controversial but the approval of a power plant in Page sailed through the Navajo Tribal Council with only nine councilmen voting no.
