How long did the Navajo Indians long walk last?
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.

Who was in the long walk of the long Navajos?
More than 3000 people died in the battles, walk and internment in the years between 1863 and 1868. The exact number can't be known. There were about 8,500 Navajos who were forced to move to Bosque Redondo (Round Woods in Spanish, Hwéeldi in Navajo- "place of suffering" ) . Kit Carson led, at the direction of General Carleton, a scorched earth campaign to starve the Diné out and force them into internment camps. The march was about 300-400 miles for most people. They traveled in 53 different forced marches between August 1864 and the end of 1866. They traveled on seven different routes. They were forced to walk as much as 13 miles a day. It is not known exactly how many people died on the trips. It is thought to be about 200-400 died over the 18 day trip. It is not known how many died of starvation and disease and gunshot while fighting Kit Carson and his men. Some Navajos evaded them. They fled to Navajo Mountain, the Grand Canyon, the lands of the Chiricahua Apache, and to parts of Utah. The most famous group was led by Hoskininni. He and his people later settled in the Monument Valley and Kayenta areas. Once at Bosque Redondo, the conditions were horrible. There were disease epidemics, starvation, crops failed, there were floods, army worms, 500 Mesquelero Apache who were enemies were there, Comanche attacked over and over, the army men stole the food and money. In all about 2700 died during the time there. The Diné were allowed to return home in 1868.
