The Army marched some ten thousand Navajo and five hundred Mescalero Apache hundreds of miles to a barren reservation on the Pecos at Fort Sumner in 1864, where a quarter of them died of starvation, disease and exposure over four years. The Treaty of 1868 that ended the Long Walk is one of the only times the United States let a removed people return to their homeland. The memorial at the site was designed by a Navajo architect, its shape a hogan and a tepee meeting.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
