Milton Bluehouse Sr. (February 29, 1936 – January 14, 2019) was the fourth president of the Navajo Nation in the post-Restructuring of the tribal government.[1] [2] [3]
Bluehouse was born in Ganado, Arizona. He served in the United States Army for three years. Bluehouse served on the Navajo Tribal Council.[4] 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.[5]
