About Chinle, Arizona
Chinle is a community of 4,573 people in Apache County, on Navajo land in the northeast corner of Arizona. Its Navajo name, Chʼíńlį́, means "flowing out," because the town sits where water leaves Canyon de Chelly. In the Spanish colonial period the place served as a base for both trade and war. Its first trading post opened in a tent in 1882, and three years later a whole camp surrounded it.
The Chinle Boarding School, run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, opened in 1910, and from then on the federal government had a lasting hold on the town. The school remained in Chinle until 1976, then relocated to Many Farms and was later renamed Many Farms Community School. English speakers first spelled the name Chin Lee, and on April 1, 1941, the spelling became Chinle. The town stayed small for decades, and the 1960 census counted just 150 people.
- Gateway to Canyon de ChellyCanyon de Chelly National Monument was created on April 1, 1931, and Chinle became its front door. Every acre of the monument belongs to the Navajo Tribal Trust, and about 40 Navajo families still live inside it. Outsiders may walk the canyon bottom only alongside a ranger or an authorized Navajo guide, with the White House Ruin Trail as the one exception. Spider Rock, a 750-foot sandstone spire, rises where Monument Canyon joins Canyon de Chelly.
- The dog protest of 1956By the 1950s Chinle had fewer than 200 people, many stray dogs and no leash law. On April 8, 1956, Bureau of Indian Affairs officials rounded up strays and shot them without warning, leaving some of the bodies at people's doors. When another shooting was ordered for September 23, 1956, residents protested. Superintendent G. Warren Spaulding had the dog shot anyway and never explained why, but the outcry brought a gas chamber for unclaimed dogs.
- Home of the Wildcat DenChinle High School is the biggest high school on the Navajo Nation. Its basketball Wildcats played in the Chinle Community Center, which holds 1,000 fans, until 2006, when the 6,000-seat Wildcat Den opened. The arena is now the largest building in town. Netflix premiered Basketball or Nothing in 2019, a six-episode series about the boys' team.
