U.S. Magistrate Harry McCue of San Diego was selected as Mediator. Early mediation sessions were held in the Judge's Chambers in San Diego, attended by scores of traditional Dine' - elders, children and all. The Judge Ordered the Navajo Nation and the Dine' families on the one hand, and the Hopi Tribe and U.S. Government of the other, to present proposals for a settlement. The Navajo Nation and Dine' families produced a bare-bones land exchange proposal which would give the Hopi Tribe 500,000 acres of prime ranchland in exchange for about 289,000 acres occupied by the Dine' resisters. It took many months of effort and sacrifice to meet these demands.
