Letters

Editor, This letter responds to David Siegel’s letter in last week’s Navajo Times. I do not write to comment on the Department of the Interior’s decision on Chaco Canyon or the impact of that decision on anyone.

Editor’s note: Clara Pratte served as the executive director for the Navajo Nation Washington Office, the national director of the Native American Affairs of the U.S. Small Business Administration, and as the trade specialist/business analyst for the International Trade Administration.

Should thoughtless, federal government policy ever be based solely on vague, unsubstantiated beliefs of some people, especially when those beliefs have the direct consequence of harming others?

Anytime we have a discussion about wild horses, feral horses, and wild mustangs, there usually is no fair agreement to solve the problem of or the concern about the overpopulated wild horses.
