Editing Navajo Nation (section)

====Agencies and chapters====
The Navajo Nation is divided into five agencies. The seat of government is located at the Navajo Governmental Campus in [[Window Rock, Arizona|Window Rock/''Tségháhoodzání'']]. These agencies are composed of several chapters each, and reflect the five [[United States Bureau of Indian Affairs|Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA)]] agencies created in the early formation of the Navajo Nation.

The five agencies within the Navajo Nation are Chinle Agency in Chinle, Arizona; Eastern Navajo Agency in Crownpoint, New Mexico; Western Navajo Agency in [[Tuba City, Arizona]]; Fort Defiance Agency in [[Fort Defiance, Arizona]]; and Shiprock Agency in [[Shiprock, New Mexico]]. The BIA agencies provide various technical services under direction of the BIA's Navajo Area Office at [[Gallup, New Mexico]].

Agencies are divided into chapters as the smallest political unit, similar to municipalities or small U.S. counties. The Navajo capital city of Window Rock is located in the chapter of [[St. Michaels, Arizona]].

The Navajo Nation also operates executive offices in [[Washington, DC]] to facilitate government-to-government relations and for lobbying services and congressional relations.
