Navajo Transitional Energy Company (NTEC) is proud to announce the return of a 2,211-acre parcel of Navajo land first leased for mining in 1957. This is an historic event since no other mining company has previously fully reclaimed coal mine land to today’s standards to allow for its proper release from Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) jurisdiction back to the Navajo Nation. The parcel is located at the north end of NTEC’s Navajo Mine, within the Nenahnezad Chapter of the Navajo Nation and close to Farmington and Shiprock, NM. NTEC and the Navajo Nation celebrated this momentous event with a traditional blessing at the Navajo Mine hogan today. Navajo Nation President Dr. Buu Nygren, as well as Navajo Council delegates from the Resources and Development Committee, officials, and citizens from the Nenahnezad chapter were also on hand for the event.
