MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2002 No one speaks Navajo anymore at a business near the Navajo Reservation in northeastern Arizona. For the owners of the R.D.'s Drive-In, that's a good thing. The Kidmans instituted the No-Navajo policy in response to alleged complaints that workers were harassing others in Navajo. For four workers who left after being asked to sign a document agreeing not to speak Navajo, they felt their rights were being violated. They brought suit, through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, against the drive-in. Get the Story:
