The 25th Navajo Nation Council will convene its 2026 Summer Session on Monday, July 20, beginning at 10 a.m. in the Navajo Nation Council Chamber in Window Rock, where delegates will consider legislation, receive reports, and address issues affecting the Navajo Nation throughout the week.
Speaker Crystalyne Curley said the five-day session is an important opportunity for the Council to take action on matters that will shape the Nation’s future while encouraging public participation.
“During the Summer Session, the Council will consider legislation, address pressing issues, and take action on matters that shape the future of the Navajo Nation,” Curley said. “I encourage all Navajo citizens to participate by attending the session or following the proceedings online. An informed and engaged public strengthens our government, promotes transparency, and reinforces accountability in the work we do on behalf of the Navajo people.”
Before Monday’s opening session, the Missing and Murdered Diné Relatives Task Force will host the Every Child Matters Awareness Walk beginning at 8 a.m. at the Navajo Nation Museum and ending at the Council Chamber.
Council delegates will also complete the final leg of the 2026 Summer Session Trail Ride, departing the Navajo Nation Fairgrounds at 8:30 a.m. and arriving at the Council Chamber around 9 a.m.
Opening ceremonies will feature the posting of the colors by the Shiprock Chapter Veterans. Miss Navajo Nation 2025–2026 Camille Uentillie will lead the Pledge of Allegiance and perform the National Anthem, while water rights advocate Earl Tullie will deliver the opening invocation.
In accordance with Title 2 of the Navajo Nation Code, the Council is also scheduled to receive the State of the Navajo Nation Address on Monday.
The Summer Session runs through Friday, July 24. During the week, delegates will debate legislation, hear reports from tribal entities, and consider measures impacting the Navajo Nation.
The public is encouraged to attend the session in person or follow the proceedings through the Council’s livestream on Facebook and YouTube. The proposed agenda and session updates are available on the Navajo Nation Council website under the “Meetings” section.
