Anecdotal discrepancy for Navajo nation in Arizona
by Deborah Goldsmith May 27, 2016

May 27, 2016

Hi, A colleague recently visited Page, Arizona, and the Navajo reservation right next to it. His phone must have been associated with a cell tower inside the Navajo nation, because his zone was set by NITZ to America/Denver (DST in effect). This matches the current TZ database. However, he observed that the parts of the Navajo nation adjacent to Page were actually observing the same time zone as Page (America/Phoenix, DST not in effect). I wouldn’t make any changes based on this one anecdote, but it might be worth checking if anyone has any sources inside the Navajo nation. Thanks, Debbie

Federal legislation deals with time zone borders, not DST observance. DST observance is a state (and Indian) matter. Only AZ and HI have decided not to observe. Federal facilities located in those states therefore do not observe DST. Everything from national parks to post offices to federal polling places. Indian nations are deemed to have similar authority - and that it supersedes that of the state in which they are located. So on reservation lands the Navajo decision to observe DST trumps the AZ decision not to. Federal facilities inside the Navajo reservation observe time per the Navajo authority instead of the AZ authority. There are also exceptions to federal facilities deviating from official local time. The only one I knew of before today was Guadalupe Mountains National Park, which observes Mountain time despite being mostly located in the Central time zone. Today I learned of the Dangling Rope Marina exception. Regards, Steve Jones Emacs!

> Federal facilities and areas within AZ are subject to federal > legislation so they too observe DST. That's not correct. I'm currently at Pipe Spring National Monument (a federal facility in AZ), and despite being just a few miles from the Utah border, it follows the bulk of AZ in *not* observing DST. I can tell you the same is true for Grand Canyon National Park, Petrified Forest NP, Organ Pipe Cactus NP, and other NPS locations here. On the other hand, Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site - which is surrounded by the Navajo reservation - follows the Navajo in observing DST. In general, NPS sites in Arizona observe the time of their surrounding areas. I would strongly expect that the same is true for other federal facilities in Phoenix, Tucson, or wherever - it would just be too disruptive for the time zone to be different in a single building.

A very complex area: From http://ontimezone.com/exceptions.php: Even though Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time, the Navajo Indian Reservation (which takes up most of northeastern AZ) does observe DST. To add to the confusion, the Hopi Indian Reservation, which is wholly enclosed within the Navajo Reservation, does NOT observe DST. Confused? We're just getting started. * Consider also that the Navajos have an enclave containing the village of Jeddito, entirely within the Hopi reservation. And that the Hopi reservation has an exclave at Moenkopi, just south of Tuba City. Still not confused? * Some of the businesses in Tuba city (within the Navajo Reservation) reportedly do not observe Daylight Saving time, so as to avoid confusing the tourists. Good luck with that. At least that puts them in sync with their Hopi neighbors across highway 160 in Moenkopi. Got it? http://ontimezone.com/images/az_tribal.php Emacs! Steve Jones Emacs!
