MIR. Nakai was a member of
the Higher Education of American
Indians Foundation and on the SCH
olarship ommittee at Arizona
State College. Flagstaff, Arizona.
He was the first chairman of the
Navajo Catholic Conference, being
elected in 1861.
Preceding his campaign for the
position of tribal chairman, Mr..
Nakai had sharply disagreed with
the tribal administration during the
campaign: however, he devoted
his time to promoting a positive
program for his admin stration,
should he be elected.
He called for an honest, able
and loyal government based on the
dignity of the Individual man for
government derives its power form
the consent of the governed.
He pointed to the need of a
constitution for tribe through which
the common people would have a
greater share in the government
and a participation in determining
their affairs.
Education and employment we're
high on CHE agenda. He promised
to use every effort to try to
resolve the problems Of college
students. He pointed out that the
Tribal Scholar ship Program need
ed attention. He proposed equal
opportunities for the students who

desire higher education to go TO
the college of their choice. He
spoke of the possibility of pro-
noting Junior Colleges in the To-
cality. He also wants to do more
for education on the junior and
senior high school levels.
In order topromote employment
on the reservation, it is his de-
sire to do more inthe development
of natural resources; to further
promote the development of deep
wells to be used for irrigation;
to encourage the growth of pri-
vate industry; TO promote the es-
Establishment of more small bust
nesses; and to further develop the
tourist industry the reservation.
His program includes the aged,
the handicapped and veterans.
In order to accomplish these
things, he desires to cooperate
with federal and state govern
ments, private industry and other
agencies, making use of their ex-
perience and wisdom to advance
the living standards of his people
so that they might be able to live
with dignity as human beings.
He praised the Leadership of
the past that had given the younger
generation the education and train
ing they have. He stated that the
younger generation is now willing
and able to lead.
A poor boy has risen to become
the head of a multimillion dollar
operation. May Cod grant him the
courage and strength to rule wisely

dependence on sheep. Make jobs
for The People.
Already some great changes
have occurred. In 1910, livestock
and agriculture contributed 1914
per cent of the total Navajo in
come.
In the recent past, the great
est number of reservation Jobs
have been created by the federal
government and the Navajo Tribal
government.
The nearby railroads off the
reservation have Away been SYM
pathetic employers of the Navajo
labor, with as many as 1890
Navajos on the payroll in a single

1ngs have dropped; the Navajo
maintenance workers and car
leaders naturally feel the impact
when traffic volume declines.
Now there has been a political
upheaval which has put vigorous
young administration into power.

received his First Holy Com
munion and was Confirmed. From
there he went on to the Ship
rock Boarding School and grad
uated from High School in 1912.
While in school, Raymond &C
quired an appetite for reading and
became an avid reader. He read
everything worth while that he
could lay his hands on. The social
question became one of his most
interesting subjects. He made quite
a study of the social encyclicals
of the modern popes.
Nakai entered the Navy in1o42,
specializing in radio and clerking.
He spent most of his three years
in the Pacific during the war. He
took part in the Sec ond Sea Battle
of the Philippines and many other
battles including Gu dale ana l,
Attu, Maxim and TaraWa.
While on leave, in 1913, he
married Ella Crawford at Flag
staff, Arizona. God blessed their
union with five children: Raymond,
lr., 16, Ursula, IA, Michael, 10,
Richard, II. and Laurinda, 9.
When Mr.. Nakai was discharged
from the Navy. he took job at
the Navajo Ordnance Depot, Bel
mont, Arizona, near Flagstaff. He
has remained at the depot since
that time, holding the position of
foreman.
Besides his regular job, MIR.

The first day of the elections
the weather was bad and voting
started out slowly. 1t picked up
as time went on and the weather
became more favor able. When the
final vote was tabulated about 81
per cent of the eligible voters
had turned out at the polls.
Tuesday night everyone was
ears as the votes we're tabulated.
Nakai led, fell behind, and again
took the lead-never to lose it.
Many were completely surprised.
Nakai pulled 11,19O votes; Jones
was second with 1926: Billison
had 7,422.
For the last 10 years, more
or less, Mr.. Nakai has been deeply
interested in tribal affairs. He
had made efforts to get into the
race for tribal chairman in the

eservation economy, &C
cording to the report. was 'de-
ncately balanced" lin 1910, the
average per capita income was
$81. a year. In 1858. it climbed
to $467, still less than one-fourth
the national average. J basing cal
culations on the fact that Navajo
reservation economy depended
largely on grazing (and on the
assumption that it must), the re-
port concluded that the People
were overcrowded on their Is
thousand square miles of land.
AS corollary of this, the report
said that half The People should
move off the reservation. This has
presented large difficulties: many
do not want TO leave their home,
others lack the education or train
ing for life off the reservation
For those who do wish to leave
there are fine opportunities in
major relocation centerS in met
ropolitan areas of the country.
Another conclusion of the re-
port lin some ways more rea-
nstic, in other ways more vi
sionary onel: change the reser-

centers, motels and industry are
few of the many other projects
underway in various stages. Com
plants have already started on
the red tape of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs which impedes or
slows action on the new admins
tration's plans although complaints
are not against individuals but the
system.
These men are young, and in
a hurry to get the Navajo economy
moving forward. They will not
long tolerate obstructive delays
or bureaucratic red tape to their
program for Navajo progress.
They are already taking a close
look at the action of the bureau
and other agencies. Some say,
There is too much talk and too
many channels and too many paper
handlers--we want to see some
action--some constructive accom-
plishments."
Who knows, perhaps the Nava-
jos are getting ready to do for
themselves many things the pater-

Some of the water behind the
dam is earmarked for the Nava-
10 reservation and Navajo lr-
rigation Project to bring that water
to 10000 acres of irrigable Nava-
10 land is pending in Congress.
Looking forward to that day the
Tribe foresees 1OO-acre farms for
1000 families, and room for
another 1900 to 1900 in allied
service industries.
To train Navajos in modern
farming methods. the Bureau of
Indian Affairs completed the con-
struction of a 1000 acre irri-
cation project on the Hogback Unit,
located near the helium plant a
few miles west of Shipr ock, New
Mexico. In the past years, the
Navajo Tribe has appropriated Sc
veral hundred thousands dollars
for the training program. In ad-
dition TO instruction in modern
farming techniques, the trainees
also receive instruction in English,
arithmetic, farm budget. and re-
cord keeping. Their wives are
trained in home economics, and
homemaking by experienced ex-
tention workers. The tribe is pre-
pairing. then, a nucleus of highly
trained farmers ready to take
their place on the Navajo irrigation
Project or any other irrigation
farmlands that become available.
In all of this planning for greater
industrial development, the tribe
is making master plans for some
40 communities on the reservation.
1t considers population trends
com munity economic opportun-
tiles, utility requirements. water
supply, sewers, streets, shopping
centers. Congress has passed
bill allowing Navajos to lease their
land for up to SO years. That will
pave the way for not only more
industrial development, but also
for FILA financed homes. Congress
has approved bill for 500 houses
under the Public Housing law.
Under the old pastoral economy,
the isolated hogan was just the
thing. Now. with the industry of
the late 10th Century ready to
invade the reservation towns will
spring up like magic.
Following World War Ii, an
analysis of reservation resources
revealed that only half the pop
ulation--at that time. 35.OOO---
could possibly live off the land
at a decent standard The other
half would have to seek other
ways to make q living. -; $50

Soon the tribe may have net

visited Canyon de Chiefly in 1855;

the few new tribal motels will
spring up here.
Recently, the tribe developed a
huge boy scout camp in a natural
gigantic amphitheater in the Chu-
ska Mountains. Boy scout S from all
over the United States will visit
the camp within the next decade,
then return home and spread the
word about the beauties of the
reservation.
MINERALS: At the present
time, oil and gas constitute the
most important minerals under
development on the reservation.
With techniques presently avail
able, it is possible TO recover
between 1920 per cent OF the
oil from underground deposits, but
estimates place the probable life
of the Four Corners oil field at
a minimum of 30, with the pos
sibility of 5000 years.
But the tribe is looking to the
development of its vast coal de-
posits to provide tribal income
and a basis for firm economy
in future years.
Arizona Public Service and Utah
Construction and Mining Company
have gone ahead with the tribe
and made plans for giant coal
mining operation and a steam
generating power plant. which is
now in oper alton. Here the tribe
gets economical power power that
