The Navajo Nation is a large Indigenous self-governing territory spanning parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. Governance combines modern representative institutions with traditional local assemblies known as chapter houses, where community members practice direct participation in decision-making. Rooted in Diné philosophy and land-based ethics, Navajo governance emphasizes collective responsibility, territorial stewardship, and Indigenous self-determination.
