The Agreement was strongly opposed, not only by the Dine' families, but by the non-Indian communities and political leadership of Arizona as well. The Agreement in Principle proposed to accommodate the traditional Dine' families by means of a restrictive, 75- year lease of the land they consider their own. The Agreement refers to a list of people eligible for leases. This list was developed by the tribal government as a census. The families feel it is their right, and not the government's, to determine who is a family member and who will be allowed to live on their land.
