Abstract
All serious ethnic conflicts involve both competing interests and threatened identities. This chapter examines a complicated long-term land conflict between the Hopi and Navajo, two sovereign native American nations. The problem, d’Estrée argues, is that the conflict is not only about land, but also the identities of two peoples already coping with the impact of American conquest and the delineation of tribal reservations in the late-nineteenth century.
