Written history of T'iis ts'ooz nideeshgiizh dates back to 1907. A man by the name of S.F. Stacher founded a school house. Much later, the first BIA School was established alone with a trading post around the same time. The Navajo people have maintained their culture and heritage, including continued practice of native religion, which still plays an important and powerful role in the day-to-day life of Navajos.
The Crownpoint Chapter conducts monthly meetings 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 or Community..
