Summary

Despite the Navajo Nation’s size and relative lack of development, tribal members often find it nearly impossible to get permission to use land. This chapter focuses on homesite leases and, revisiting a topic first introduced in Chapter 3, grazing regulations. Both areas are ones in which the tribal government and tribal leaders recognize contribute to stunted growth on the reservation. The chapter argues that returning to a use-dependent understanding of property rights offers a way to free up land for those who want to make a life on the reservation.
