The Southwest Under Stress
Author: Allen V. Kneese
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135432813
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
Southwest Under Stress examines the development-environment conflict in the four contiguous states of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. It emphasizes three issues with implications that extend far beyond the Southwest: water---its quantity, quality, and allocation; environment---how and to what extent it should be preserved; and the future of Native American and other poverty-stricken peoples. Energy comes in for special attention because the Southwest is a principal repository of fossil and nuclear fuels. This book serves as a guide for public policy in the region, and many of the policy alternatives set out are aimed at state and local governments. Alleviating poverty, improving the lot of Native Americans, and formulating workable water, environmental, and natural resources development policies are all of special concern to the region, but the federal government has asserted a dominant role in may of these areas. The book discusses ways in which the federal role may change to improve both federal policy itself and cooperation with other levels of government.

Navajo Land, Navajo Culture
Author: Robert S. McPherson
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 9780806134109
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
In Navajo Land, Navajo Culture, Robert S. McPherson presents an intimate history of the Diné, or Navajo people, of southeastern Utah. Moving beyond standard history by incorporating Native voices, the author shows how the Dine's culture and economy have both persisted and changed during the twentieth century. As the dominant white culture increasingly affected their worldview, these Navajos adjusted to change, took what they perceived as beneficial, and shaped or filtered outside influences to preserve traditional values. With guidance from Navajo elders, McPherson describes varied experiences ranging from traditional deer hunting to livestock reduction, from bartering at a trading post to acting in John Ford movies, and from the coming of the automobile to the burgeoning of the tourist industry. Clearly written and richly detailed, this book offers new perspectives on a people who have adapted to new conditions while shaping their own destiny.

The Navajo Nation
Author: United States Commission on Civil Rights
Publisher: [Washington] : The Commission
ISBN:
Category : Navajo Indians
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
"'The Navajo Nation: An American Colony' describes how this country's largest Indian reservation is handicapped in its quest for economic development by a host of problems arising primarily out of its legal status, deficiencies in the Federal administrative structure, and inadequate funding of the Federal health delivery system. The report is based on the Commission's hearing in Window Rock, Arizona, capital of the Navajo Reservation, in October 1973, and on months of research preceding and following that hearing. Some of the problems discussed will require legislative remedies, while others may be solved much more readily by administrative action. It is our hope that this report, with its findings and recommendations, will stir a prompt response. We believe this neglected segment of the American populace already has suffered too long from the burdens attendant to its deplorable status as 'the poorest of America's poor.'"--Page iii.
