Abstract

The article delves into the Diné Fundamental Law (DFL) and its significance in reviving traditional Diné units dismantled by the U.S. government, highlighting the historical trauma faced by the Diné people. It discusses the challenges lawyers encounter in implementing DFL and the importance of disentangling Diné culture from reservation laws. The text also explores the Navajo Nation Local Governance Act as a step towards reclaiming indigenous governance, emphasizing communal stewardship and aligning reforms with Diné values for sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
