Andrew L. Sandler Quoted in Voice of America Article, "Largest Settlement a Turning Point in US-Navajo Relations"
Andrew L. Sandler was quoted in Isabela Cocoli's Voice of America article, "Largest Settlement a Turning Point in US-Navajo Relations," on October 8, 2014.
Andrew Sandler, who represented the Navajo Nation in the suit, said the settlement for $554 million is an equitable deal for both parties. It comes at a time when the Navajo Nation needs significant investment in several areas -- from education to housing -- and he said it will go a long way toward addressing those needs.
“The Navajo Nation is plagued by an unemployment rate as high as 50 percent. It is in desperate need for educational resources, for infrastructure resources, for roads, for water, and many other things," said Sandler. "This $500-plus million will go a long, long way to improving the quality of life for the Navajo people.”
