The Long Walk refers to the forced relocation of the Navajo people, known as the Long Walk of the Navajo, which occurred in the 1860s. This was primarily caused by U.S. government policies aimed at expanding territorial control and resource extraction in the Southwest, coupled with conflicts between Navajo tribes and settlers. In 1863, the U.S. military, under Colonel Kit Carson, initiated a campaign against the Navajo, leading to their capture and forced march to a barren reservation at Bosque Redondo in New Mexico. The traumatic journey resulted in significant suffering and loss for the Navajo people.
