Robert Chee, also known as Hashke-Yil-Cale (1937–1971)[1][2] was a Navajo contemporary artist and author.

[6] Chee was enrolled in the Intermountain Indian School, where he studied under Allan Houser.

[1][5] In 1959 and 1960, Chee won first prize at the Navajo Tribal Fair,[5] and the Gallup Ceremonials in 1966.

[2] He was known for his distinct flatstyle painting, which was in part a reflection of the earlier "studio-style" of painting taught at Dorothy Dunn's art classes in the Santa Fe Indian School's Studio School.

[1][9] His later work shows the suggestion of a foreground with hills or the sprigs of plants coming from the earth.
