Summary
Navajo economic development and governance will always be hard. Located within the United States, the Navajo Nation has to deal with both external and internal challenges. The conclusion, however, offers measured optimism. Whenever the tribal has faced challenges, such as corruption or the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been leaders who have stood up for the people. The chapter ends by arguing that there is space for the Navajo Nation to push its independence and that non-Indians should be allow the tribe to set its own path.
