HCM 2016 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

Chief Barboncito Highway; Route 191

This memorial (HCM 2016) requests that Arizona rename U.S. Route 191 as the "Chief Barboncito Highway" to honor Navajo (Diné) leader Chief Barboncito, who signed the Treaty of 1868. The designation would specifically apply to the highway segment serving northeastern Arizona communities near Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The resolution aims to recognize Barboncito’s historical role and educate the public about Diné history and the Treaty of 1868. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new policies or affect government programs.
