Claiming tribes are still a "world apart" after apparently being defeated by the United States military, a New York Times article focuses on an upcoming decision regarding the Hopi Tribe's right to collect baby eagles in a national park.

The Department of Interior plans to allow tribal members to collect golden eaglets from Wupatki National Monument. Tribal members already have 40 permits to collect them, but the permits don't specify a physical location.

Like many other tribes, the Hopi never waged war with the United States and never signed a treaty ceding land or rights to the government.
