Talk:The Bennett Freeze

Untitled
Would you say the following statement is accurate/ belongs in the article? "It is widely regarded as an example of government mismanagement of Indian lands." If not, how would rephrase it? Mff2020 (talk) 04:18, 7 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I deleted the orphan tag and added the undue weight tag. This article is an important subject, which relates to reservations and the unforeseen consequences of executive orders and acts of Congress.   While I  am sympathetic towards the Navajo, this article deals with a land dispute with two parties and outside parties(who have a substantial interest that goes well beyond curiosity into the investment realm).


 * Two unique reservation facts? The Navajo are the only tribe removed from their traditional lands and then sent back. I wonder if there are other situations where there is a reservation of one tribe, surrounded by a reservation of another?  It would appear that in 1868 treaty the Hopi were specifically ignored, as were the Navajo in 1882 treaty. In my opinion, that was the start of the mismanagement that extended to the Bennett Freeze.
