Navajo Nation Primary Water Drinking Regulations (NNPDWR)
Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency • Public Water Systems Supervision Program
The Great Seal of the Navajo Nation was designed by Mr. John Claw, Jr.,
of Many Farms, Arizona, and was officially adopted by the Navajo Tribal
Council on January 18, 1952, by resolution CJ-9-52.

The Great Seal had forty eight projectile points or arrowheads symbolizing
the Navajo Nations protection within the forty eight states (as of 1952).
Since then, two points have been added to represent the entire fifty states
of the United States. The opening at the top of the three concentric lines is
considered the East. The lines represent the rainbow and sovereignty of
the Navajo Nation. The rainbow never closes on the Nation's sovereignty.
The outside line is red, the middle line is yellow and the inside line, blue.
The yellow sun shines from the east on the four sacred mountains,
Sisnaajinii, Tsoodzil, Dook'o'oslííd, and Dibé Ntsaa. Yoolgaii, Dootl'izhii,
Diichili, and Baashzhinii are the sacred mountain ceremonial stones.

Two cornstalks with pollen symbolizes the sustainer of Navajo life. A
horse, cow, and sheep, located in the center, symbolizes the Navajo
livestock.
The copper color outlines the present reservation, with the original Treaty
of 1868 in dark brown. In the cardinal points on the tan field are the Sacred
Mountains. A rainbow, symbolizing sovereignty arches over the Navajo
Nation. In the center of the reservation, a circular symbol depicts the sun
above two green stalks of corn between which are three animals
representing the Navajo livestock economy, a traditional Hogan and a
more modern type of house. Between the hogan and house is an oil
derrick symbolizing the resource potential of the Nation, and above this are
represented the wild fauna of the reservation. At the top, nearest to the sun,
the modern sawmill symbolizes the progress and industry currently
characteristic of the Nation's development.
