At the same time, the discovery of oil on the reservation also led to the creation of a nation-wide council, although it was very controversial in that many believed it didn't actually represent the entirety of the Navajo population. Early heads-of-state were referred to as Chairmen, until the formation of the Navajo Nation government, when they adopted the formal identifier of President. the Navajo peole lived in the southwestern region in the United States
