My grandma tells our family's Long Walk story to Hwééldi, Navajo for Fort Sumner. It comes from the Spanish word for Fort, fuerte. Around the 1860's, US troops rounded up Navajos from their homeland to an established reservation near the Bosque Redondo area in southeastern New Mexico. Following the Treaty of Bosque Redondo on June 1, 1868, the Navajos were allowed to return to their original homeland.
The posting of this video is not meant to show that I have any hatred towards this government. In fact, I consider myself a proud American. It is because of this country I found the love of Christ and live as a Christian. No government is perfect, and in the infancy of this country our forefathers did things they would regret this day. This video is a documentation of history. Should any comments be posted that shows hate towards America, it will be deleted. Enjoy!

Amazing! I'M SO HAPPY I UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE'S SAYING My family hardly speaks of this but my great-grandma was adopted by Chief Manuelito because when she was a kid, her parents died so he adopted her. I come from Coyote Canyon in NM and where Tohatchi is, the Chuska Mountains they said that he use to wear two flat rocks on his chest and back. He ran from the mountains where we lived to the mountains which is a good 40 miles on foot. Also, I heard a lot of Long Walk storiessadbutinspirational

I am deeply humbled by here story, sacredly respected. I am fortunate enough to have been raised in a Navajo speaking family so to hear her story touches deep within. And yes subtitles would be great for those who can understand. I am thankful and appreciative to be a DINE.

Awesome story my Aunt gave. Especially about the Long Walk and for what the lady did for our great great grandmother? It makes me wonder if there is a way to honor this lady's Descendants or the people?

this really is a powerful story and really does go to prove how important women and the culutre are.. she talked of how she and all her grandkids are who they are because her grandma strived.. and i agree with her and all the elders, we must keep our culture alive to honor those like her and her grandmother.. from a dine' women :)

my mother would tell stories of the long walk that her mother told her. I couldn't understand that well because we were thrown in boarding school. I wasn't alone I had my brother's and sister but i didn't see them all the time because they had put them in their own dorms.

I have books like Dine Bizaad and a Navajo-English dictionary. But what is the best source for audio lessons? I need to hear the language spoken. Thanks
