ResumoPopulation is viewed as being the key variable in explaining the rising power of the Navajo Nation in recent years as it has rapidly been extending its political and economic control over vast stretches of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico. One result of this expansion has been a great increase in tensions between the tribe and these three Western states. Reasons are given in this paper to support the conclusion that the probable outcome of this struggle will be the creation of our 51st state. The broader implications of this event are then briefly explored.
