Navajo Nation rejects East Rim development

摘要

Navajo Nation leaders yesterday rejected a plan to build an aerial tram on the East Rim of the Grand Canyon that would take tourists down 3,200 feet to a riverwalk. The Navajo Nation Council voted 16-2 against the bill during a special session in Arizona. The tram would require a $65 million tribal investment and previously received scant support from tribal leaders (Greenwire, Oct. 31).
