The Navajo people were primarily conquered through a combination of military force and strategic policies by the United States in the 19th century. Key events included the Long Walk of 1864, where thousands of Navajo were forcibly relocated from their homeland to Bosque Redondo in New Mexico. This campaign was marked by violence, loss of life, and the destruction of their resources, which ultimately led to their surrender and the signing of treaties that limited their autonomy and land. The U.S. government's policies aimed to assimilate the Navajo into American society further contributed to their subjugation.
