Best Answer

The US government wanted a unitary formal governmental body in 1923 in order to negotiate with it for leases of Natural Resources such as oil. Oil was found in the 1920s.

Prior to that, traditional Navajo leadership was more informal, non binding and locally important men with good clan relationships, good speaking skills in the moderate beautiful Navajo style, much livestock wealth and a strong basis in ritual knowledge.

Attached is the Navajo Nation's own website on the history of their government page.
