Navajos started surendering to Kit Carson in July 1863. In January 1864 the 450 miles forced marches to Fort Sumner in New Mexico Territory in the area called Bosque Redondo. The Navajo call this place Hwéeldi. About 9000 people made this trip. About 50 groups over about 7 trails made this trip. In 1865 there were 9,022 people there.

On the walk back, in June 18, 1868, they walked in one group that was 10 miles long.

The Long Walk was in 1864. 53 groups of Navajo people were forced to walk the 450 miles between August 1864 and the end of 1866. The Navajo people were held by the US Army in Bosque Redondo until they were allowed to return back to their lands in June 18, 1868. I have never heard of a Long walk of 1900.


What caused the long walk?

The Long Walk refers to the forced relocation of the Navajo people, known as the Long Walk of the Navajo, which occurred in the 1860s. This was primarily caused by U.S. government policies aimed at expanding territorial control and resource extraction in the Southwest, coupled with conflicts between Navajo tribes and settlers. In 1863, the U.S. military, under Colonel Kit Carson, initiated a campaign against the Navajo, leading to their capture and forced march to a barren reservation at Bosque Redondo in New Mexico. The traumatic journey resulted in significant suffering and loss for the Navajo people.
