Welcome to Teesto Chapter
Our Story
When Teesto sat along the main road between Dilkon and Polacca, it was known as Ha’nanee’tiin, “Road Going Past.”
When Arizona State Route 87 was built in the 1960s, the road bypassed the community, and Teesto became less prominent. Teesto has always been a meeting ground between the Navajo and the Hopi to the north. Today it still sits on the border of the Navajo and Hopi Reservations, and the community remains committed to the land and its people. The chapter house burned down in 2015 and was rebuilt and reopened in March 2023.
