Farmington, N.M. – Navajo leaders are trying to judge whether a beating last month of a Navajo man by three white men and a fatal shooting of another tribal member by a white police officer six days later are aberrations or an old pattern of racism reasserting itself in this reservation border town.
The mayor, police chief and other leaders here in the Four Corners’ largest commercial hub say they will do everything they can to reassure Native American neighbors that this is a place that won’t tolerate racism and violence.
“We’re burdened with a past,” Farmington Mayor Bill Standley said. “They have the right to ask if these are isolated incidents or a trend.”
Ever since the mutilation murders of three drunken Navajo men by white teens near Farmington in 1974 brought the U.S. Civil Rights Commission to town, along with scores of Native American protesters, Farmington has struggled with its image, Standley said.
The local practice of “Indian rolling” and other crimes were documented in the book, “The Broken Circle,” and it’s still the phrase invoked when strained race relations erupt into violence.
Navajo President Joe Shirley said he wants to believe recent incidents are isolated.
