This was a 450 mile trek that lasted about 22 days . At least 200 Navajos died of cold and starvation. 53 different groups of Navajo made the trip there. Each group walked a slightly different route. Between 8,000 and 9,000 people traveled the route with a peak population of 9,022 in Bosque Redondo by the spring of 1865. After they arrived at the Fort Sumner New Mexico, many more died. The land was not suitable to agriculture and neither were the Navajos so four years later, the government allowed the Navajo to return to their homes.
Actually more than 3,500 navajos died of starvation, cold weather, no food or water, no medicines. but the trip actually took 18 days because some of the army 'privates' forced the navajos to walk 20 miles a day or in some cases more.

How did the Navajo Indians travel?
There is no irrefutable proof yet, but most ancient historians believe they came over from Asia during a time that the Bering Straights were iced over. Thousand years ago, the ice connected Alaska and Russia. Asian traveled on the freezing ice to North Americas. They became Indians or Native Americans. Today the ice is melting and we can not walk across it anymore.

How are the Navajo and Cherokee alike and different?
Well, they're alike because they both got in conflict with the Americans. The Cherokee had the Trail of Tears and the Navajo the Long Walk. They both grew crops. Both tribes also treasured horses and made pottery. They both have close to 300,000 members today. They were different in many ways. The Navajo are from the high alitude desert Southwest, the Cherokee from the wooded Southeast. The Navajo returned to their native land, the Cherokee made a new life in Okalahoma ( except for some who remained in the east). The Navajo increased the size of their lands to 27,000 square miles. The Cherokee last much of their lands in the Dawes Act and the creation of the state of Oklahoma. Thee Cherokee were viewed as more civilized and had slaves and created a written language and most became very literate. The Navajo after 1540 became more and more of a sheep herding people. Their languages are completely different as is their religion and culture.
