Reclaiming The Navajo Range: Resolving The Conflict Between Grazing Rights And Development, Ezra Rosser
Reclaiming The Navajo Range: Resolving The Conflict Between Grazing Rights And Development, Ezra Rosser
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Grazing is fundamental to Navajo identity, yet management of the Navajo range remains highly problematic. This Essay connects the federal government's devastating livestock reduction effort of the 1930s with the inability of the Navajo Nation to place meaningful limits on grazing and the power of grazing permittees.
