List of Navajo Chapters
The Navajo Chapters List includes all 110 chapters on the Navajo Nation Reservation . The chapters are the smallest local government unit in the Navajo Nation, provided they are certified. The chapters are assigned to the five agencies of the reservation. Despite the extensive self-government of the Navajo Nation Reservation, there are problems and disputes over competence with the states and their counties - particularly in northwest New Mexico, where Navajo land is mixed with state land and private land ownership in the so-called checkerboard area . There are a variety of land types, with the United States Census 2010 for the Navajo Nation Reservation only differentiating between the reservation and off-reservation trust land . The table gives an impression of the complex situation.
