President James Wright addresses an audience gathered to hear a case argued
in front of the Navajo Supreme Court
at the Tuck School of Business on Feb. 12. "We are honored by your
presence, and we are richer for your insights and judgments," said Wright
to Associate Justice Lorene Ferguson, Chief Justice Herb Yazzie, and Associate
Justice Irene Black (seated, left to right). The justices heard arguments
concerning the authority of the Navajo over alleged negligent actions that took
place in Colorado that caused harmful effects on the reservation. Organizers of
the event included N. Bruce Duthu, adjunct professor of Native American studies,
and Collin
Calloway, professor of history and Samson Occom Professor of Native
American Studies.
