The document discusses the rights and interests of the Hopi and Navajo tribes in the 1882 Executive Order Reservation. It states that the Hopi Tribe has exclusive interest in a certain part of the reservation, while both tribes have joint interests in other parts. The Act of July 22, 1958 conferred jurisdiction on a three-judge District Court to hear the case but did not mandate a complete division of the reservation. The Act also authorized the tribes to sell, buy, or exchange lands within their reservations.
