The first community meeting assembled under a tree about two miles from the Forest Lake Chapter House. In these early days, sheep dipping and branding of livestock were the main resources for the community in the earlier days. Forest Lake Chapter, tucked away in an isolated location, brings the community its scenic, welcome to its open land on top of Black Mesa, in the mid-north central part of the Navajo Reservation in Arizona. Due to the remoteness, emergency services are not realized in time, i.e., police and ambulance services. People remain traditional and continue to depend on livestock.
The Forest 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 the chapter.
