Abstract
This source is a study of the process of '… the institutionalization of a modern political system in a society that traditionally lacked centralized authority and concrete units of government' (p. 3), i.e., it is the study of the Navajo Tribal Council. The subjects considered are: Navajo history, the systems of the federal goverment and the local states, the authority system of the Navajo Tribal Council, the interaction of the states and their role relations, the historical development of self-government, the institutionalization of the Tribal Council, local participation in the modern political system, the elections of 1955 and 1959, and the future of the Tribal Council.
