Summary

If the Navajo Tribal Council agrees, the President may create the Canyon De Chelly National Monument by issuing a proclamation. The monument would be inside the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona and would include Del Muerto, De Chelly, and Monument Canyons, their tributary canyons, and land up to one-half mile from the canyon rims. These lands sit in specific unsurveyed and surveyed townships and ranges of the Navajo meridian (unsurveyed townships 4 and 5 north, range 7 west; townships 4, 5, and 6 north, range 8 west; townships 4 and 5 north, range 9 west; and surveyed townships 4 and 5 north, range 6 west; townships 3, 6, and 7 north, range 7 west; township 6 north, range 9 west; and township 5 north, range 10 west). The area totals about 83,840 acres.
