The Navajo community named Steamboat “Hóyee,” which roughly translates to “State of Fright.” The meaning has been said to be attributed to a V shaped canyon, which converges with an overhanging cliff. At the convergence is a natural spring. Historically, the spring was a watering hole for passers-by. Local people feared being ambushed by enemies or mountain lions if they got water there. The name Steamboat refers to a large rock formation that resembles a steamship.
Steamboat Chapter holds meetings monthly in order to keep the Steamboat chapter residents informed and have a forum in which to express their opinions to their Navajo Council
delegates or decide on the matters concerning their
chapter.
We are located 21 miles west of Ganado on Highway 264.
