Why is a reservation even being looked at? Insular native communities are probably the highest odds of having the least number of non native people living there.

I know, racism, but I’m wondering what their rhetoric is on this. Or have they dispensed with any attempt at rhetoric at this point.

Why wouldn't Navajo people be places other than a reservation?

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

The reference is to reservations being one of the more homogenous locations in the United States, not that Navajo cannot go wherever.

Reservations are not homogenous, there definitely are some reservation lands where a lot of non-natives lives. No idea how it is in the Navajo nation in particular.
