The treaty in 1868 was called :

"Navajo Treaty of 1868"

Fort Sumner, New Mexico, June 1, 1868

Ratification August 12, 1868

It starts:

"Whereas a Treaty was made and concluded at Fort Sumner, in the Territory of New Mexico, on the first day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight, by and between Lieutenant General W.T. Sherman and Samuel F. Tappan, Commissioners, on the part of the United States, and Barboncito, Armijo, and other Chiefs and Headmen of the Navajo tribes of Indians, on the part of said Indians, and duly authorized thereto by them, which Treaty is in the words and figures following"

It was the one that allowed the Navajo to move back to a potion of their traditional lands. It created the first Navajo Reservation. The Navajo Nation is much bigger now.

Are the Navajos still alive?

Yes! Check the related link. As of 2012 there are over 300,000 enrolled members of the Navajo Nation. Not only are they still alive but this is more Navajo than there have ever been. They are thriving. In 1864 there were between 15,000 and 20,000 Navajo. In 1868 there were about 10,00- 15,000. By 1900 there were about 30,000. They have increased tenfold since then. The Navajo Nation land area has gone from 5,200 square miles in 1868 to 27,425 square miles today. They also have the largest irrigated farm in the United States.


Who were friends of the Navajo Indians?

The Navajo have always impressed and influenced other peoples they meet. This is why their reservation grew to the largest in the country and it is completely within there traditional lands. It is why they are 300,000 today, more than has ever been. It is why they largely still speak their own language and practice their own religion. It is why they were not forced to move to Oklahoma and as General Carleton and others wanted in 1868. Instead they returned to their homelands and the corruption of their captors was exposed in scandal. Between 1868 and 1934 their lands grew from 5,200 square miles to 27,000 square miles because others liked the Navajo. That is roughly the size of Holland and Belgium combined. Over and over their culture of restraint and beauty has impressed people. Many missionaries sent to convert them ended up learning Navajo and almost becoming Navajo. Many left their own faith. Many Indian Agents sent to control them, ended up lobbying for them. Many traders became almost family to their communities. It is striking how often this has happened. The Navajo skill of taking new ideas and bringing them into their culture and making them elaborately beautiful and Navajo has also impressed many people over the years.

Where the Navajo forced to leave their land?

Yes, the Navajo were forcibly removed from their land during a period known as the Long Walk, which occurred between 1863 and 1868. The U.S. government sought to relocate them to a designated reservation in eastern New Mexico. This forced march resulted in significant suffering and loss of life due to harsh conditions. Ultimately, the Navajo were allowed to return to a portion of their ancestral lands, leading to the establishment of the Navajo Nation.
