The Hopi Tribe is set to acquire over 31 square miles of land in Arizona, part of a long-standing settlement.

The Hopi Tribe in Arizona is nearing the acquisition of more land following a 30-year-old settlement agreement. Federal officials and the state are working together to transfer over 31 square miles of land near Winslow into trust for the tribe, with the Hopi compensating the state nearly $4 million. This marks the first of several expected transfers aimed at eliminating the checkerboard ownership pattern in northeastern Arizona, providing economic opportunities like ranching and agriculture for the tribe.
