    Is that true? This case was Arizona v. Navajo Nation, which was consolidated with Department of the Interior v. Navajo Nation. These cases were brought by the government, not by the Navajo, but if they were, this case would have still been Navajo Nation v. Arizona. Is the respondent/defendent not the same as who the case is “against?”
