Coal leasing in the Fourth World: Hopi and Navajo coal leasing, 1954-1977

Thesis/Dissertation ·
OSTI ID:6132514
Between 1954 and 1977 the Hopi and Navajo tribes sold concessions to non-Indian companies for the exploration and development of reservation lands in Arizona and New Mexico containing steam coal. This dissertation explains the preferential hiring, environmental, and financial provisions in these concessions - especially the structural response to contingencies. It builds an explanation upon conditions in the regional coal-lease market and the political economy of the reservations at the time of the initiation of a concessional relationship.
