The Navajo Tribe 

The Navajo Nation extends into the states of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico.   
Diné Bikéyah, or Navajoland, is larger than 10 of the 50 states in America.   
The Navajo Nation is the 2nd largest tribe with over 332,000 enrolled members. 

Tribal History
"Navajoland" often appeared to be little more than a desolate section of the Southwest, but it was only a matter of time before the Navajo Nation became known a wealthy nation in a class of its own. The discovery of oil on Navajoland in the early 1920's promoted the need for a more systematic form of government.

Navajo government has evolved into the largest and most sophisticated form of American Indian government. The Navajo Nation Council Chambers hosts 88 council delegates representing 110 Navajo Nation chapters.

Visitors from around the world are intrigued and mystified when they hear the Navajo language – so, too, were the enemy during World War II. Unknown to many, the Navajo language was used to create a secret code to battle the Japanese.  Over 400 Navajo young men were selected to create codes and serve on the front line to overcome and deceive those on the other side of the battlefield. Today, these men are recognized as the famous Navajo Code Talkers, who exemplify the unequaled bravery and patriotism of the Navajo people.  As of 2016, there are only 10 Navajo Code Talkers alive.

Red Feather's Impact
  • 27,000 square miles
