Perhaps you mean the hozhooji naat'aanii? This is the word for the Peacemaking and Restorative Justice program on the Navajo Nation. It is an attempt to bring more traditional values back into the justice system on the Navajo Nation. It is a system and sometimes refeered to as a ceremony but it is not a traditional ceremonial chantway or structure.
The name means chantway or ceremony of hózhǫ́. This concept does not occur in American English. It means roughly: beauty and harmony, health, peace, balance, dynamic symmetry, happiness and contentment, wholeness, goodness all in one over arching idea. The second word means: one who leads to the proper way though speaking (from to orate or move one's head).
I only know of four steps not six parts in this peacemaking process that Cheif Justicie Yazzie implimented. They are: prayer to begin and have the powers of the Holy People present, talking it out with the families of both parties, lecture (not a good English term, more of a tying what happened to traditional stories), and reconciliation with symbolic restituition.
Four and six are important symbolic numbers in Navajo tradition so perhaps two more have been added since I learned of it. There are four sacred boundry marking mountains and two sacred center mountains so that would make sense.
