Abstract
The Navajo, like many other North American Native populations have been adversely affected by mining. Termination of tribal status, forced relocation, and exposure to radioactive elements are just a few of the tragedies these people have faced. This paper will take an ethnohistorical approach to mining on Navajo ands as well as investigates important case law that have been established over the past 100 years.
