Two resign from Navajo development board

FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 2002

Two members of the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry board resigned recently, citing tribal politics and a lack of acceptance because they are white.

The departure of James R. Manassero and Daniel O'Neill leaves only Navajo members on the NAPI board. Manassero and O'Neill were both agriculture executives.

NAPI showed a $104,000 profit in 2001, the first in its 25 years of operation.
