File — Box: 2, Folder: 27
Scope and Contents
From the Series:
David Brugge was part of the research team that prepared evidence for the Healing vs. Jones trial. As a result of the trial, the Court gave the Hopi Tribe exclusive ownership of District 6 but declared the rest of the disputed land was held jointly by both tribes. Materials related to the trial research are contained in this collection. Brugge investigated Navajo archaeological sites, prepared exhibits and assisted attorneys with preliminary interviews of elderly Navajo who could possibly appear as witnesses. In the Healing vs. Jones series are found copies of exhibits for the trial including maps, site reports, tree-ring data, photographs, pottery charts, Navajo place names, ethnobotany exhibits and testimonies. The two subseries Post Litigation Negotiations and Political Solution, and Relocation and Resistance, contain articles, newspaper clippings, testimonies, documents, interview transcriptions, correspondence, reports, excerpts from federal regulations, maps and conference papers. Subjects such as Black Mesa, Arizona, the United Nations Religious Freedom Hearing on behalf of the Navajo, organized resistance to relocation, impact of relocation and Peabody Western Coal Company are covered. Also are found Navajo-Hopi Relocation Commission updates and reports, 1981-1987, including an analysis by Brugge of the monthly meetings, meeting minutes and notes.
