Navajo Indians

They lived in parts of northern Arizona, northern New Mexico, and southern Utah and Colorado. They live between the four mountains: Mt. Blanca, Mt. Taylor, San Fransisco Peak, and Mt. Hesperus. They also lived around the two center mountains: Gobernador knob (Ch'óol'í'í or Fir Mt) and Dzil Ná'oodilii or El Huerfano Mountain.

They live currently in the four corners (Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico) as they have for centuries up to at least 100 years before Columbus. The Navajo Nation actually comprises the largest reservation in the US.

He is thought to have been 35 when Kit Carson attacked his family in 1863. That would make his birth year 1828 but that should be though of as only approximate. He died in 1912 in Monument Valley, where he lived with his family. However another source I've seen says he died in 1909. That means he was in his 80's when he died which looks about right from his photos. He is said to have had 12 wives. His son was Hoskinini Begay (which means son of Hoskinini). He was 5 in 1863.

The Long Walk ended at Bosque Redondo in New Mexico. They had no shelter. The water was bad. The crops didn't grow well in this area. Their livestock had been killed. Many got sick. Some died. They were dependent on US government food supplies. The tradition of fry bread comes from this time as does the style of velveteen top with tiered skirt. The US army who guarded them stole and sold the food and supplies. It became a huge scandal. The US government wanted them to move to Oklahoma. They refused and said they would rather die than live beyond their four sacred mountains. There were some officers and government officials to whom Navajo people and culture was very appealing. They got them permission to return to their homeland. In 18, 1868 they were allowed to walk home. They cried when they saw Mt Taylor, the sacred mountain of the south, on the horizon. They were granted 3.5 million acres. Later they added to that and now have the Navajo Nation, a semi-autonomous territory covering 27,425 square miles. There are 300,000 Navajo today.

Some Apache did make hogans. They also made kowa and wikiups and the Plains and Lipan Apache used tipis.

In general, a hogan is a much more permanent home and takes a lot of time a materials to build. The thick walls are good for keeping warm in the high altitude winter and keeping cool in the summer. The Navajo are people who keep sheep and goats and raise corn, squash and beans. They mostly live at between 5000 and 8000 feet in elevation. Hogans are useful in this climate and because they stayed near their fiends except when moving herds to higher pasture. Also hogans have important religious significance.
