Navajo Nation Council Chambers
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 24 delegates representing 110 reservation chapters meet on the third Monday of January, April, July, and October.
Be aware that when the council is not in session, the building is locked, but the exterior still makes for a nice stop.
Turn east off Indian Highway 12, about ½ mile north of AZ 264, to reach the Council Chambers. Nearby
is a memorial park honoring Navajo veterans, including the famous World War II code talkers.
