|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The US government destroyed Hopi autonomy in 1890, as the Dawes Act
|
|
forcibly imposed [private property](Private_Property "wikilink") onto
|
|
their lands.\[4\] In 1934, the US forced a tribal government onto them
|
|
made up of religious converts, who leased their lands to mining
|
|
companies who profited from [coal, natural gas](Fossil_Fuel "wikilink")
|
|
and metal extraction. This dispossessed the Hopi and polluted the
|
|
land.\[5\]
