Summary
During the spring of 1864, more than 6,000 Navajos were marched in the snow to Fort Sumner in New Mexico. They had been starved into submission by volunteer armies of the same settlers led by the famous Indian fighter Kit Carson. Carson's troops, earlier that year, made the first military passage through Canyon De Chelly because the Navajos had been raiding whites who had settled Indian lands in the recently acquired New Mexico territory. The journey to Fort Sumner on what is now know as Route 66 became knows to the Navajos as "The Long Walk."
