Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr. is proposing the creation of chapter to serve tribal members who live in Phoenix, Arizona, and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Shirley called on the Navajo Nation Council to consider his plan. He said the Phoenix chapter should be created first. He said the tribe could buy 10 acres for a multi-purpose administration building there.
A chapter would allow urban tribal members to receive tribal funds.
