Education
[edit]There is a tribal school, Pine Hill Schools, operated by the Ramah Navajo School Board and associated with the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE).
Additionally the Gallup-McKinley County Schools is the local school district; the proximity of the nearest schools in Cibola County were so far, 50 miles (80 km) away, that Cibola and McKinley counties agreed to have students sent to McKinley County schools. As of 1995 it buses students from the reservation to Ramah Village: Ramah Elementary School and Ramah Middle/High School.[3] The reservation is physically within the Grants-Cibola County Schools district.
The Navajo Nation (Navajo: Naabeehó Bináhásdzo), also known as Navajoland,[2] is an Indian reservation of Navajo people in the United States. It occupies portions of northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southeastern Utah. The seat of government is located in Window Rock, Arizona.
Window Rock, known in Navajo as Tségháhoodzání (pronounced [tsʰéɰáhòːtsání]), is a city and census-designated place that serves as the capital of the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American tribe by both land and tribal enrollment.[3] The capital lies within the boundaries of the St. Michaels Chapter, adjacent to the Arizona and New Mexico state line. Window Rock is the site of the Navajo Nation governmental campus, which contains the Navajo Nation Council, Navajo Nation Supreme Court, the offices of the Navajo Nation President and Vice President, and many Navajo government buildings.
Window Rock's population was 2,500 at the 2020 census.[4] It is estimated to reach around 20,000 during weekdays when tribal offices are open.
he Navajo Nation Council rejected legislation to change the name to "Diné Nation", citing potential "confusion and frustration among Navajo citizens and non-Navajos"
The Navajo people have continued to transform their conceptual understandings of government since signing the Treaty of 1868. Social, cultural, and political academics continue to debate the nature of modern Navajo governance and how it has evolved to include the systems and economies of the "western world".

Language
[edit]On December 30, 2024, Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren made the Navajo language the official language of the Navajo Nation by signing legislation.

This is in order to promote the intergenerational preservation of the Navajo language within the Navajo Nation and intending to work in conjunction with the Diné Language Teachers Association to foster the utilization of the Navajo language.[
