Abstract
This article deals with Navajo history from 1850 to 1923. Primary emphasis is given to relations between the United States government and the Navajo, detailing events leading up to the Long Walk, captivity at Fort Sumner, and eventual repatriation to Navajo lands. The history of the first tribal council, slave raids, and the changes occurring after the establishment of the reservation in 1868 are also addressed. Necessarily written from biased American reports and documents, the author attempts to present a more balanced perspective.
