Casamero Lake Chapter
|
The community was named after a Spanish man named Casamero who lived near the lake; he wanted the community named after him. It is said early community meetings were held in hogans until the first chapter house was built. The meetings were generally conducted by a man named Incly Begay. People walked to the meetings or came on horseback and wagons. Meeting in the early days dealt with dam building and repair, plowing, and sheep-dipping, etc. Mr. Begay later gave a portion of his livestock grazing area to the chapter to build a meeting house. A new chapter house was built in 1980; this building also includes a warehouse.
The Casamero Lake Chapter conducts monthly meetings to keep residents informed; residents have a forum to express their opinions to their Navajo Nation Council Delegate or to decide on matters concerning their chapter.
