The Navajo Nation must submit all proposed laws to the [[United States Secretary of the Interior]] for [[Secretarial Review]], through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA).

Most conflicts and controversies between the [[federal government of the United States]] and the Nation are settled by negotiations outlined in political agreements. The Navajo Nation Code consists of codified rules and laws of the Navajo Nation.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Navajo Nation Code {{!}} Navajo Nation Office of Legislative Services |url=https://www.nnols.org/navajo-nation-code/ |access-date=2023-03-05 |language=en-US |archive-date=March 5, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230305181342/https://www.nnols.org/navajo-nation-code/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The Navajo Nation Code has 26 titles, covering subjects from the Navajo Nation Government to Commerce and Trade to Water. The 2010 version is available on the Navajo Nation Office of Legislative Services, as well as a section for [https://www.nnols.org/navajo-nation-code/amendments/ amendments] beginning from January 2014 to December 2022.

There is a map that outlines the boundaries of the Navajo Nation, available on the Navajo Land Department's Website.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Maps – Navajo Land Department |url=http://nnld.org/Home/Maps |access-date=2023-03-05 |website=nnld.org}}</ref> Also, see Dine Land Use's website for the history of the Navajo Nation's land base.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Land Base Formation, Navajo Nation |url=https://dinelanduse.org/history/ |access-date=2023-03-05 |website=Diné Nihi Kéyah Project – Navajo Nation Land History, Law and Custom |language=en-US |archive-date=March 5, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230305181342/https://dinelanduse.org/history/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Lands within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation are composed of Public, Tribal Trust, Tribal Fee, [[Bureau of Land Management]] (BLM), Private, State, and BIA Indian Allotment Lands.  Within the Arizona and Utah portions of the Navajo Nation, there are a few private and BIA Indian Allotments in comparison to New Mexico's portion, which consists of a checkerboard pattern of all the aforementioned lands. The Eastern Agency, as it is referred to, consists of primarily Tribal Fee, BIA Indian Allotments, and BLM Lands. Although there are more Tribal Fee Lands in New Mexico, the Navajo Nation government intends to convert most or all Tribal Fee Lands to Tribal Trust, which has some benefits according to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Benefits of Trust Land Acquisition (Fee to Trust) {{!}} Indian Affairs |url=https://www.bia.gov/service/trust-land-acquisition/benefits-trust-land-acquisition |access-date=2023-03-05 |website=www.bia.gov |archive-date=March 5, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230305181350/https://www.bia.gov/service/trust-land-acquisition/benefits-trust-land-acquisition |url-status=live }}</ref>
