The Navajo Nation Council gathered July 20 for its annual summer session, with little of controversy up for discussion. But behind the scenes, council members are working to come up with a way to stop an election that would cut the number of lawmakers by more than half and give the tribal president more authority.
The major part of that push is delegate Raymond Joe’s move to repeal a law that the Tribal Council passed seven years ago in an attempt to preserve the traditional ways of life among Navajos.
