The Navajo Nation Council Chamber in Window Rock, Arizona, completed in 1935, serves as the governmental center of the Navajo Nation. Built during the New Deal era and shaped by the Indian Reorganization Act's shift in federal Native American policy, the structure exemplifies Pueblo Revival architecture with its distinctive red sandstone façade designed to complement the dramatic landscape. The building stands as a unique legislative headquarters—the only one in the United States continuously owned and occupied by an American Indian tribe while incorporating indigenous materials and architectural traditions rooted in Navajo heritage. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 2004, it remains a symbol of Navajo sovereignty and self-governance.
