The Navajo Nation is the largest tribe and reservation and its so called sovereign government is as corrupt as they come. While many Navajos have since fled the rez, the others are starting to wise and reduce the amount to tribal government members to reduce the corruption.

Very true, I did some growing up in Four Corners. Now in my late 60s, when we make a looping trip through the NN, I don’t see much improvement. I sure see (from a distance) some fancy lookin’ gambling places, wonder where all that “revenue” went??

Sort of like Texas’ lottery % to go for “education”, yeah, okay, roger that.

Anyway, some years ago tried working with some Tribal Council members to start doing SOMETHING and finally learned that they really weren’t open for help, suggestions or anything else, thank you very much. I’ve noticed more WHITES (Belacana) on the NN Police force, now, why is that?? Oh well, ain’t my problem but then again all those drunks driving the highways (like the former 666) sure ‘nough does create some problems.

Yeah but where in the hell does a judge get off telling a sovereign tribe that they cannot suspend their chosen leader. that is about the same as telling the dims that J.Kerry can no longer be in the party.

This is a bad decision just flat out wrong

[Mr. K]

Corrupt Indians going OUT SIDE of their own tribal soveriegnty to ask a (corrupt?) US federal judge to impose law on them?

That’s insane.

With the exemptions these reservations have from Federal laws tey should be little islands of gold in the US- to show what happens when you have freedom

Instead the feds have regulated them into poverty since forever

"A Window Rock judge issued a permanent injunction late Monday against a Tribal Council resolution that placed Shirley on leave, saying lawmakers acted outside of their authority in passing it, according to attorneys in the case. A council spokesman said an appeal is likely."

The nation turning to a Fed judge?
The irony. LOL

No kidding. We used to work with the Navajo tribe with housing. We finally quit, because they always came up with some way to not pay their bills. Chicago corruption has nothing on that bunch. Shirley was always in Washington with his hand out, but they pay no sales taxes nor income taxes. Money only goes one way on the Rez,,,down the rabbit hole.

When you go out there, you will notice that the tribal council members all have nice new homes and fancy vehicles. The rest of the people are hitchhiking, walking, or driving junkers, and once you get out of Window Rock and out on the rez, the people are living in squallor and dire poverty. Not so for the tribal council members.
