Navajo Nation Council Chambers

Navajo Nation Council Chambers Review

The murals on the walls of this handsome structure, built to resemble a large ceremonial hogan, depict scenes from the history of the tribe, and the bell beside the entrance was a gift to the tribe by the Santa Fe Railroad to commemorate the thousands of Navajos who built the railroad. Visitors can observe sessions of the council, where 88 delegates representing 110 reservation chapters meet on the third Monday of January, April, July, and October. Turn east off Indian Highway 12, about 0.5 mi north of AZ 264, to reach the Council Chambers. Window Rock Navajo Tribal Park & Veteran's Memorial, nearby, is a memorial park honoring Navajo veterans, including the famous World War II code talkers.
