This week on New Mexico in Focus, a new report from the state attorney general’s office finds Indigenous and Hispanic students are punished at Gallup McKinley County Schools far more severely than their white peers. The published findings follow an investigation from New Mexico In Depth in 2022 who first uncovered the story. In Depth Executive Director Trip Jennings sits down with Wendy Greyeyes, chair of the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission, to discuss the report and consider how Gallup schools could reform their disciplinary actions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The largest tribal water rights settlement in U.S. history is at a stalemate. The Northeastern Arizona Water Rights Settlement Act, if approved by Congress, would provide much-needed water for the Navajo Nation, as well as the Hopi and San Juan Southern Paiute tribes. A provision with the deal has received pushback from some negotiators at the table, questioning whether the Navajo Nation should be allowed to lease some of its water to nearby cities outside of its reservation. KUNM Reporter Jeanette DeDios speaks with Heather Tanana, an assistant law professor at the University of Denver, about the settlement’s many details and discusses how life-changing this deal would be if it went through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
