Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr. says its been "nothing but good" since taking office as the leader of the largest tribe in the U.S.

Shirley shared his thoughts on a number of issues in an interview with The Farmington Daily Times. He said he has seen "many" successes, including a water rights settlement with the state of New Mexico and the legalization of gaming.
