50 Years Ago

Fifty years ago, fewer than 10 percent of the tribal members who lived on the reservation had 9-to-5 jobs and got a regular salary.

Back in 1967, the Navajo people had a mixed relationship with the border towns that existed right outside their doorstep.

Those tribal members who are 70 and over will surely remember the events that took place this week 50 years ago.

For many years, Fort Defiance was the home to the biggest manufacturing plant on the Navajo Reservation.
