The US is springing forward to daylight saving. For Navajo and Hopi tribes, it’s a time of confusion

TUBA CITY, Ariz. (AP) — For residents of the Navajo Nation, the beginning of daylight saving time means the beginning of an annual headache. The Navajo Nation, which stretches into Utah and New Mexico, approved a resolution in 1968 to follow daylight saving time, which begins Sunday. Most of the largest Native American reservation in the U.S. is situated between two territories that remain on standard time: Arizona and the Hopi reservation. A stretch of highway in Tuba City, Arizona, is the de facto border between the Navajo and a part of the Hopi reservation. Thus, two time zones. Residents say they constantly check the clock to make sure they’re on time.
