| Sumario: | In January 2010, the Navajo Nation government (largest federally recognized tribe in the United States) opted for the construction of three new wider jails. Since 1982 members of the Navajo Nation government, judges and Navajo people have sought to revive “traditional” Navajo justice methods, called "Diné traditional peacemaking" or Hózhóji Naat’aah in the Navajo language (Diné Bizaad). Now peacemaking is renowned (on and off the Reservation) as a component of the broader field of Alternative Dispute Resolution. Showcased as one of the most noteworthy traditional judicial systems, peacemaking is often presented as a reappropriation of the legal system.Based on ethnographic data I will shed light on underlying tensions within peacemaking related to tradition and identity. Faced with a tribal justice fashioned by the US model, I intend to demonstrate how, in this postcolonial context, the demand for a navajo mode of conflict resolution is a real stake for the actors involved in peacemaking. I will analyze the power relation between different justice systems (jail and peacemaking) in the reservation and the competition between various identities. The analysis of the choices that led to its institutionalization and the resulting changes is necessary to understand the status of this hybrid justice today. |
