H.R. 5780 stands to reduce the Navajo Nation revenues. The bill would decrease the Navajo Nation's royalty revenues from its oil and gas leases located in the Aneth extension on the Navajo reservation from 62.5 percent to 37.5 percent.
Navajo culture and language preservation is a top priority for the Navajo Nation because Dine Bizaad (Navajo language) retains our heritage legacy and individuality as Native people.
