Abstract

This article examines how settler legal orders in Eastern Navajo Agency produce conditions of impasse that defer investments in life sustaining infrastructures, like roads. Focusing on the conjuncture of infrastructural decay and jurisdictional friction amid an oil and gas boom, I elaborate a concept of “gridlock” as a deadly effect of settler governance. Unfolding stories about road maintenance, school access, and emergency medical transport, the article describes gridlock as a space of both impasse and improvisation that Diné residents inhabit in moving through a region engineered for their immobility.

僵局：东纳瓦霍机构的基础设施和管辖权

本文考察了东纳瓦霍地区的定居者法律命令是如何造成僵局的，从而推迟了对维持生命的基础设施（如道路）的投资。在石油和天然气繁荣的背景下，我将重点放在基础设施衰败和管辖权摩擦的结合点上，详细阐述了“僵局”的概念，认为这是定居者治理的致命影响。这篇文章讲述了道路维护、学校通道和紧急医疗运输等方面的故事，将gridlock描述为一个既陷入僵局又即兴发挥的空间，在这个为他们的不动而设计的地区，居民们居住在其中。
