Question

the civil war had a profound impact on western indians. the union army launched a series of campaigns in the west against tribes such as the kiowas, comanches, and navajo. at one point, union soldiers forced 8,000 navajo people to travel hundreds of miles over eighteen days. this became known as the navajo’s long walk. where did the long walk of the navajo end?

Answer 1

The Navajo were forcibly removed by the U.S. Army as they walk 300 miles to Fort Sumner in Bosque Redondo from their ancestral lands in Arizona and New Mexico. During the 18-day march, hundreds of people died. Thus, the long walk of the Navajo ended at Fort Sumner.

The United States federal government deported the Navajo people in 1864 and made an effort at ethnic cleansing during the Long Walk of the Navajo, also known as the Long Walk to Bosque Redondo. Navajos were made to travel from their homeland in eastern New Mexico to what is now Arizona. Between August 1864 and the end of 1866, there were about 53 distinct forced marches. According to some anthropologists the "collective trauma of the Long Walk is fundamental to current Navajos' sense of identity as a people".
