Summary

The Navajo people, who call themselves the Diné, are the largest tribe of Native Americans in the United States. When they arrived from Canada, they settled in Colorado. In 1863, they were forced to march on the Long Walk to the Four Corners: Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah. Since then, their lives have changed ddramatically. The Long Walk was a terrible chapter, but their history is one of strength and survival. -- Publisher's description
