The Sawmill Community was established during the 1920’s under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. A small sawmill was first established near Fluted Rock, approximately 7 miles west from the Sawmill community. A fire destroyed this mill in the 1940’s, however another mill was built at the present location, 1/4 of a mile north of the present Sawmill Chapter House. Thus, the community was named Sawmill. The Sawmill Chapter House was built and certified in 1957.
Sawmill Chapter holds meetings monthly in order to keep the residents apprised and to provide a forum in which to express their concerns, offer recommendations and positive opinions to the Navajo Nation Council delegate and chapter officials with the specific intent to decide on consensual matters concerning the chapter.
All items and issues to be placed on the agenda for consideration at the Planning and Chapter meeting must be submitted to the Administration Office no later than 12:00PM the Friday prior to the scheduled Planning Meeting.
