Criminal
Division
THE JUDICIAL BRANCH


In previous issues, articles dealt with
the overall pattern of Navajo Tribal
government, he Legislative Branch,
and the Executive Branch. T his will
deal with the Judicial Branch which is
charged with the responsibility of ad-
ministering justice through the Navajo
court system.
We may consider that the judicial
obligation to the members of the Navajo
Tribe f a IL S into three categories, CD
T h concerned with criminal cases,
(2) That relating to civil cases, and (3)
the probating of personal property cases
arising from the settlement of inheri-
tanCe.
The Judicial Branch, under the d;rec-
ton of the Chief Justice, operates two
courts, Cd the Trial Court. and (2) the
Court of Appeal. The Tria court is
composed of the Criminal Division han
ding cases arising out of crime or mis-
demeanor, he Civil Division trying
cases resulting from civil suits involv-
ing money, personal property or family
relations. and the Pr o b a t e Division
which hears cases involving the settle
ment of inheritance of personal prop
erty such as livestock, money, jewelry,
household goods, and automotive vehi-
cles. This latter process is called probat
ing an estate, whether or not a will is
involved The Probate Division of the
Trial Court does not probate the real
estate holdings of a deceased Indian,
as this is a function of the Federal Gov
ernment Likewise the Criminal Divi-
sion does not try cases concerned with
h e so-called eleven ma jor crimes, as
these more serious crimes are handled
in the Federal Courts.
The above paragraph relates to the
scope of Trial Court The second court
is known as the Court of Appeal. Any
Navajo believing he has not been justly
treated in the Trial Court may appeal
his case in the Court of Appeal and de-
mand jury trial. The decision of the
Court of Appeal is final.
The Navajo courts are guided by and
must uphold all Navajo laws adopted by
the Navajo Tribal Council, the govern
ing body Of the Tribe. The courts have

PROGRESS IN
REORGANIZATION

=
Council adopted reorganization plan
for its Executive Branch. This plan en-
yisioned a better top-side administration
organization and broke the many de-
partments into three groups; CD those
related to Public Services; (2) those re-
lated to Resources and (3) those related
to Administration Thus three divisions
were created, each to be headed by a
Division Director. In January, 1860,
the Advisory Committee approved the
following appointments: Director, Pub
lie Services Division, G. Warren Spaul-
ding; Director, Resources Division, Ned
A. Hatathli; Director, Administration
Division, Remi Van Compernolle
Since these three appointments were
made, other progress in reorganization
has been taking place. About 60 appli-
cations for high level positions were con
sidered, n d many were interviewed.
Mr.. Lawrence Cooper was selected to
head the Livestock and Agriculture De-
partment in the Resources Division. Mr..
Harry Buescher was employed as Con-
troller and Mr. Edward McCabe entered
on duty as Treasurer in the Administra-
ton Division. An Employment and Per
sonnel Director is expected to join the
staff at an early date.
The Community Services Department
has now been absorbed in the Public
Services Division, various departments
such as Health, Welfare and Education.
Community Development, Public Works
and Housing and Probation and Parole
are being activated as fast as funds and
personnel become available. The Nav
ajo Tribal Council has provided funds
for additional needed staffing in h e
welfare activity 1t has also provided ad-
ditional staffing in the accounting ac-
tivty of the Administration Division to
take Ca r of the increased work load
Increasingly, tn e administration is
delegating authority and responsibility
for operations to Division Directors to
relieve the three highest executives from
duties that can be performed at lower
levels. New Personnel Policies and Pro
cedures and n ew schedule of annual
salaries have been adopted by the Ad-
visory Committee n d put in effect
More staff meetings at all levels are
being held.
In period of eight months the &C
complishment in reorganization of the
Executive Branch has been steady and
consistent. The improvement in organ
ization is expediting the general flow of
the work to subordinate offices and has

VA AT EEH!

This Navajo word is the rarest jewel of
any language
In all others the gesture is clumsy
and weak.
A warm smile of welcome to each other
as they meet.
Their ringing word of cheer to all
they greet.
Recognition, remembrance, the exten-
sion of every aid
To those who need it.
By tradition the right hand of fellow
ship offered
To all who deserve it.
Expression of the greatest virtue yet
revealed
Tolerance to the views and vices of
mankind.
When Navajo smiles and to you says:
''Ya at eeh!'
Salute him with warmth and extend
hand.
Lift your hat and bow to him in simple
alteration
If language be barrier don't be
bored.
Because my brother upon you he has
just bestowed
All the grace of that magical Nav
ajo word

AVEGRO BEAUTY has come of age. Or at least,
I'M the rest of the world has laid aside its preJudl-
" ces long enough to recognize that beauty knows
no racial or cultural bounds. Bronze lovelies are
receiving much deserved recognition in contests and
other areas where beauty is requirement.
The wealth of variety offered within the race is
treasure long buried and newly found No culture can
offer as much the way of selection than the American
Negro Here, the eye can feast on copper elegance,
ivory grandeur tan splendor and dark magnificence
If you sit in a barber shop long enough, or stand
around any place that men frequent, you will hear
someone say that the most beautiful girls come from
Louisiana" or New York. California In fact, every
state in the union gets vote of confidence from ardent
beauty fans from time to time.

Those who have been around, andhave looked care

the Garrett County Historical So
ciety had been rejected because
of their bulk.
Several months later, Arnold
had an idea. If the newspapers
were too bulky to be preserved
intact. why could they not be edited
examined and the items of par
.icular and lasting historical signif-
icance be permanently available
A scrapbook maker from way
back, on any subject which struck
his interest, the idea of preserving
individual clippings in scrapbooks
came to mind.
Begins Compilation
Mr.. Arnold's proposal met with
the approval of the Democrats
owners, and his leisure activity
which has occupied thousands OF
hours during the past years, was
begun.
To facilitate ready reference,
the idea of separating each clipping
according to topic was conceived.
Thus, at the present time. a half
dozen large books are designated
as to City Business, Births, Deaths
and Marriages. Automobiles and
Roads, Crime, Buildings, and
other classifications containing
hundreds of references.
Mr.. Arnold takes the copies, one
year at a time, and complies those
clippings he wishes to preserve.
When all are selected, they are
classified as to book, individually
dated and pasted chronologically
in the proper volume.
Of course, there are Illustrations.
In number of cases, some issues
are missing, others are too fragile
to be handled, and some are not
complete. During the period of
the Oakland fire near the turn of
the century, copies are missing for
several years. Otherwise, the col
lection is a complete running ac-
count of life, commerce, progress
and retrogression in the county
for nearly rs years.
