Testimony also showed that Grayeyes is related to nearly everyone else at Piute Mesa. His umbilical cord is even buried there. In Navajo tradition, the place where a person’s umbilical cord is interred is a strong signifier of belonging, although Stirba argued that is not normally cited for establishing residency.

I can understand why questions were asked about where this man lived - the story contains many details that show this was murky. But I also see the undercurrent of racism here, and that is not OK.

The lack of services provided by Utah to the Native Americans, requiring them to get them from another state, does NOT define residency.
