Census: Navajo enrollment tops 300,000. It's official. There are more than 300,000 enrolled members of the Navajo Nation. The tribe's census office last week pegged tribal enrollment at 300,048, said Sherrick Roanhorse, chief of staff for President Ben Shelly.
Although only a small portion of their reservation extends north of the San Juan River, Navajos consider the Mesa Verde region part of their larger world because it lies within the area bounded by the four sacred mountains. More than 1,000 Navajo live, off-reservation, in the region today. Most Navajos speak English and participate in the broader American economy, but they have also maintained their own language, customs, and religion.
