After the signing of the peace treaty between the Navajo and United States and release from captivity in Fort Sumner, New Mexico in 1868, seven families returned to their original homeland to “Tlohchin” (wild onion). Mormon settlers established Ramah community in the late 1800s. The Navajo Tribal Council certified the Navajo part of the community or the chapter on October 31, 1857. In 1934, the late Frank Casuse Eriacho donated eight (8) acres of land in Mountain View to BIA to be used for a school. In 1964, BIA transferred the same piece of land back to Ramah Navajo Chapter. The Ramah Chapter used the land the same year to build a chapter house.
The Ramah 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.
