The Navajo Nation's reservation boundaries has been changing since the original reservation boundaries were established in 1868. At the same time, governmental guardianship over these lands has changed. Currently, the Navajo Nation is divided into five agencies ([[Chinle_Indian_Agency_(Arizona)|Chinle Agency]], [[Eastern_Navajo_Indian_Agency_(Arizona)|Eastern Navajo Agency]] (AZ), [[Eastern_Navajo_Indian_Agency_(New_Mexico)|Eastern Navajo Agency]] (NM), [[Western_Navajo_Indian_Agency_(Arizona)|Western Navajo Agency]], [[Fort_Defiance_Indian_Agency|Fort Defiance Agency]], and [[Shiprock_Indian_Agency_(New_Mexico)|Shiprock Agency]]), with the seat of government located in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_Rock,_Arizona Window Rock, Arizona]. Each of these agencies are further divided into smaller political units called [http://www.navajo-nsn.gov/chapters.htm Chapters], the number of Chapters have fluctuated over the years, but there are roughly 110 Chapters. Typically, Chapters do not carry documents containing family history information, and most will refer you to the Navajo Nation offices. Many of the documents held at the agencies have also been transfered to National and Regional archives throughout the United States.&nbsp; <br>

To help move the issue along, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_quantum_laws#Tribes_requiring_1.2F4_degree_blood_quantum_for_membership Blood Quantum] was introduced as a requirement for tribal membership, allowing tribes to select the degree of ancestry for an individual to be considered part of a specific tribe.

==== U.S. POPULATION CENSUS  ====


The United States Federal Population Census records in regards to Navajo Indians varies by area. Since about 1885 until 1930, Natives were required to be placed on Indian Census Rolls, by 1940 they were incorporated into U.S. federal population census records. In some areas Navajos were placed on U.S. federal population census records as early as 1900, and are usually limited to Natives living in or around boarder towns. As most know, U.S. federal population census records are recorded every ten years and at times can also include Indian Census Numbers and can be helpful in tracking down ancestors. <br>

One major issue when dealing with these records is that many of the Census takers were not Navajo speakers and some relied on translators for information. in additoin, Navajo at the time these censuses were taken was still in the process of becoming an official written language and so many Census takers phonetically wrote names. Many a times Census takers wrote generic names for people using Navajo terms such as; "At'eed," (girl); "Ashkii," (boy); and "Asdzaan" (woman) or Hastiin (mister or man.
