Just what was one method of forced removal McCain used to bring about this?
ACSA study reveals that after assembling a team of "pro-Peabody Western Coal" Indians and obtaining a false "Hopi-Navajo" Tribal Counsel designation by the Bureau of Indian Affairs for these paid Tribal representatives, in the period 1974-1996, Senator McCain was able to get large bands of the Dineh-Navajo relocated off their lands, so that Peabody Western could mine the coal under their farms at nominal expense. Common Cause has suggested McCain was indirectly compensated by street name cash contributions to his Federal Election Fund during three Presidential runs, and through family business with Las Vegas Casinos who benefited from the coal driven power he supplied.
In 1974 the U.S. Government legally endorsed genocide when Congress passed Public Law 93-531, which enabled Peabody Coal Company to strip mine Black Mesa by ripping the traditional Navajo and Hopi peoples from the land.
Let's talk about the Bennet Freeze.
APARTHEID IN ARIZONA
...Jets fly low over the area on an almost daily basis, livestock is impounded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs on the pretense that resisters are "overgrazing" the land, and, due to the special Bennet Freeze clause of P.L.93-531 (which foresaw the possibility of a resistance) Dine people living on what is now Hopi Partitioned Land cannot legally upgrade their housing (i.e. repair a hole in their roof during the winter) without facing the threat of arrest because they no longer legally own the property their families have lived on for centuries. This type of regular harassment has been described as "low intensity psychological warfare" and it has become commonplace against families resisting relocation at Big Mountain.
These families continue to hope that public outcry will become so loud that Congress will no longer be able to ignore the damage which is done every day to people affected by relocation policies. In order to truly respect Native American self-determination, Congress must submit a full repeal of P.L.93-531 and use the money allocated for "relocation benefits" to repair the damage done to those people who have already been relocated (many of whom have yet to receive alternative housing). And while Congress remains reluctant to repeal...
So, McCain made it illegal for the Navajo to repair their housing, even in dire circumstances, in order to steal their land.

This isn't the truth. It was Hopis who started the whole mess and Hopi Rangers driving over Navajo crops, shooting Navajo sheep dogs and shooting at Navajos! I know buddy, because I live on Navajo land. This story is horseshit.

It don't matter who started it fool. It matters that McCain is helping with his pull to carry it out through the law and his payoff!

It's the Hopis that maintain it's illegal for Navajos to do any repairs on former joint use land that now is considered as belonging to the Hopis. One of my uncles couldn't even put up a new outhouse! As to BIA, it was to the BIA that he appealed to get the Hopis off his back.
You all must think the Navajos real dumb if you think we're going to fall for Democrat digs led by a black panther communist against our own state Senator. Navajos have the largest military representation of any tribe in the country. Almost every family has somebody in service now and just as many are going to be voting Republican. So there. Enough with this nonsense. And by the way, all the power out of Peabody was going to California and wasn't doing a thing for us or McCain.

McCain is still collecting favors from Peabody Coal as well. The current CEO of Peabody is sitting on McCains "energy Council"
For those of you who don't care about what happens to native americans, consider this. This forced relocation forced +10,000 people off of their land. That's as many people as there are in many small towns in middle class white communities, it could be YOUR town next if McCain and his cronies get elected.
