Synopsis

This is the 30 year update to the report "The Farmington Report: A Conflict of Cultures." In 1974, in response to the brutal murder of three Navajo youths and numerous complaints from Navajo leaders concerning unequal protection and enforcement of the laws, the Advisory Committee undertook an intensive study of the social and economic relationships between the City of Farmington and the County of San Juan and the Navajos living in the community and in the adjoining reservation. 30 years later, the New Mexico Advisory Committee returned to the area to learn of changes in relationships between Farmington and San Juan County and the Navajos living in the community and in the adjoining reservation. The Committee found that there has been improvement with respect to the equal protection and enforcement of laws for Native Americans. Problems continue to persist; however, and these are addressed in this report.
