Jeddito Chapter
|
The Navajo name of Jadi to (antelope water) was derived
from nearby watering points, which were frequently used by
antelope. Most families living within the Jeddito “island”
are members of the extended families who were forcefully
evicted from the old Hopi Reservation (District 6) in
September and October of 1944. This marked the first mass
relocation of Navajos determined to be living on the wrong
side of the Navajo-Hopi boundary. The portion referred to
as Jeddito “island” is totally surrounded by the Hopi
Partitioned Land. Another segment of the chapter land base
is part of the main Navajo reservation on the Apache County
side. The “island” part is situated exclusively in Navajo
County.
The Jeddito Chapter conducts meetings monthly to keep
residents informed; residents have a forum to express their
opinions to their Navajo Nation Council Delegate or to
decide on matters concerning their chapter.
