    The Long Walk of the Navajo People 1864-1868

    The Long Walk of the Navajo People 1864-1868

    Presented by Sharlot Hall Museum at Sharlot Hall Museum

    February 15, 2009

    In 1864 the Navajo people were forced to walk over 450 miles to Fort Sumner in eastern New Mexico, an experience the Navajo know as Hweeldi and English speakers know as the Long Walk. The Navajo understanding of this unfortunate event has for the most part remained as oral history. In this presentation the audience will hear the Navajo elders' version of the Hweeldi as it appears in the children's story Little Woman Warrior Who Came Home: A Story of the Navajo Long Walk. The presenter, Dr. Evangeline Parsons-Yazzie, is an associate professor of Navajo at Northern Arizona University.
