The is only one Navajo tribe not plural "tribes".
There are clans. About 60. But they are always mixing because it is taboo to marry anyone in any of the four clans of your grandparents (or related ones). The Navajo live in a large area so there were different leaders and slighlty different traditions and accents in different areas.
Traditionally Navajo people put a very high value on personal autonomy. Higher than standard white American culture. There were no overall single "chiefs" or leaders who could control or order others around or tell them how to act or what to do. There were no hereditary leaders. This was very very hard for the Spanish and later the Americans to understand. They felt there should naturally be one man who could speak for and order everyone else around.
each area or clan or family group had influential people who were leaders of course but they could only act by convincing others.
There often was said to be a "peace leader" and a "war leader" for each group or area. Most things in Navajo culture exist in complementary pairs. They would meet and have ceremonies at times. Sometimes 12 of each would gather for a tribe wide ceremony and meeting.

Over time, the Navajo adopted farming and other Pueblo practices.
The proper adjective form for Navajo is Navajo, as in Navajo Nation, Navajo people, Navajo history, Navajo art, etc. An example sentence: We visited the Navajo display at the museum to see the Navajo jewelry.
