THE CHAPTER HOUSE
The 110 chapters — local government
D · Draft — not verified Not line-checked against the Navajo Nation Code. How we verify →
Chapters are the Nation's local governments — where community decisions start. Find your chapter below by agency, then use the official directories to reach its offices, officials, and meetings.
Topics · planning · acting · monitoring · outcomes — the business of the community
Topics: Water · Housing · Healthcare · Education · Veterans · Business · Oversight · Reform — infrastructure runs through them all
Plan: a certified chapter resolution is the nearest door to changed law — Route 1 is your chapter → · the open work →
Participate: the Community Center → · the surveys →
Network: build together → · ask an expert →
Gather: today at the Civic Center →
The data & progress: community findings & the data ledger → · the progress index → · what we’re still looking for →
The bigger idea — a portal for every chapter
This whole site is a working example of what any chapter could run for its own community: an official portal — the local record, the surveys, the planning board, the help-wanted list, the daily page. Same tools, your community. If your chapter wants to explore it, come talk →

One chapter, sometimes two names
Official election documents from the Navajo Election Administration list several chapters by their Diné Bizaad names — for example, Birdsprings appears as Tsídii To’ii and Sweetwater as Tó Łikan. Where the names differ, both are shown below so this list matches what you’ll see on the NEA’s own lists and your ballot materials.
