Discover the Untold Stories: Navajo Long Walk Council For Indian Education Series

The Navajo Long Walk: A Harrowing Chapter in Native American History

The Navajo Long Walk is a deeply significant event in Native American history that deserves its place in the annals of the American story. It narrates the tragic forced relocation of thousands of Navajo people by the United States government in the mid-1860s.

During this dark period, Navajo people were uprooted from their ancestral lands in what is now Arizona and New Mexico, and forced to march hundreds of miles to internment camps at Bosque Redondo near Fort Sumner, New Mexico. This campaign, also known as the "Long Walk of the Navajo," inflicted immense suffering and loss upon the Navajo Nation.
