WINDOW ROCK, Arizona -- When John Redhouse, Dine', wrote about the Navajo Nation extinguishing Navajo aboriginal land claims for 86 cents an acre -- it ended his time as a columnist at Navajo Times. It was a bold move to expose it in 1981.
Dr. Jennifer Denetdale, Dine' historian, said she discovered Redhouse's column during her research for her PhD. Her comments came as Redhouse launched his new book on bordertown racism and the torture murder of Navajos in Farmington, New Mexico.
