So Navajo Supreme Court didn’t agree with exception and that Navajo bill of rights looks at economic opportunity. Court said not look at things with blinders but what applies which is Navajo Business Preference, Navajo Bill of Rights and Navajo Procurement Act. demonstration qualification and competence and nothing for Navajo preference so exception there. So when appealed, Office of Hearings and Appeal upheld decision to give contract to non-Navajo architect, land surveying. Navajo Business Regulatory said not respond cuz first time raised. Complaint went to Office of Hearings and Appeals that since they, Iina’ Ba’, Inc., number one priority one Navajo company, that tribal water department violated Preference in Employment Act.Ĭourt said that when got to court, business claimed that violation of Navajo Business Preference. Number one was non-Navajo firm and tribal Water Department gave contract to non=Navajo. This company, Iina’ Ba’, Inc., was Navajo and scored second. I guess we have been ordered by Navajo Nation Supreme Court to address.
