Early life.
Bluehouse was born in Ganado, Arizona. He served in the United States Army for three years. Bluehouse served on the Navajo Tribal Council. He also served as the vice-president in the office of his predecessor Thomas Atcitty. He assumed the presidency after some controversy involving his right to be president. As he had been an appointed vice-president, the law stated that he was not eligible to become president. The law was changed to allow him to assume the presidency.
