September 25, 2014 – The 27,000-square-mile reservation of the Navajo Nation encompasses parts of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. The tribe leases much of the land for mining, farming, grazing, housing, and oil and gas operations. Navajos disputed the compensation they received when the federal government oversaw the leases. The Navajo Nation has now agreed to settle the case for $554 million, the largest settlement of its kind to a single tribe.
