    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 22, 2019 Navajo Nation to obtain an original Naaltsoos Sání – Treaty of 1868 document WINDOW ROCK – Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez and Vice President Myron Lizer are pleased to announce the generous donation of one of three original Navajo Treaty of 1868, also known as Naaltsoos Sání, documents to the Navajo Nation. On June 1, 1868, three copies of the Treaty of 1868 were issued at Fort Sumner, N.M. One copy was presented to the U.S. Government, which is housed in the National Archives and Records Administration in Washington D.C. The second copy was given to Navajo leader Barboncito – its current whereabouts are unknown. The third unsigned copy was presented to the Indian Peace Commissioner, Samuel F. Tappan. The original document is also known as the “Tappan Copy” is being donated to the Navajo Nation by Clare “Kitty” P. Weaver, the niece of Samuel F. Tappan, who was the Indian Peace Commissioner at the time of the signing of the treaty in 1868. “On behalf of the Navajo Nation, it is an honor to accept the donation from Mrs. Weaver and her family. The Naaltsoos Sání holds significant cultural and symbolic value to the Navajo people. It marks the return of our people from Bosque Redondo to our sacred homelands and the beginning of a prosperous future built on the strength and resilience of our people,” said President Nez. Following the signing of the Treaty of 1868, our Diné people rebuilt their homes, revitalized their livestock and crops that were destroyed at the hands of the federal government, he added.

  • Navajo Indians of the Southwest History Worksheets

    Navajo Indians of the Southwest History Worksheets

    Navajo Indians of the Southwest Americans built a fort, named Fort Defiance in Navajo territory in September 1851. The Americans seized the valuable grazing land around the fort. In 1860, when the Navajo’s livestock strayed onto pastures, U.S. soldiers slaughtered a number of Navajo horses. The Navajos raided army herds in order to replenish their losses. The Navajo eventually led two attacks against the fort, one in 1856 and one in 1860. Nearly 1,000 Navajo warriors attacked the Fort in the 1860 raid, but Maneulito (below right) and Barboncito (right) did not have enough weapons to take the fort. Navajo continued their hit and run attacks. A militia unit, the Second New Mexico Mounted Volunteers, was formed to fight the Navajos and Apaches. In January 1861, Maneulito and other leaders met with Colonel Canby to sign a new peace treaty. The Navajo were anxious to get back to their crops and livestock and signed the treaty. A second fort, called Fort Fauntleroy, was built in 1860. (Later it was renamed Fort Wingate.) Manuel Chaves became the commander of the fort. The Navajo gathered at the fort for rations and friendly horse races. There had been heavy betting. Allegations of cheating in a horse race led to a fight between Chaves’s men and visiting Navajos. Chaves ordered his men to fire at the Navajo. In all, the troops killed twelve Navajo men, women, and children and wounded around forty more. In 1862, Fort Wingate was moved. The Civil War was in full swing. Navajo raids increased. Citizens in the area complained that nearly 30,000 sheep were stolen in 1862.

The 1793 grant, formally giving title to the 53 families who lived at Ojo Caliente, did not specify boundaries. Land speculator Antonio Joseph bought the deeds from the heirs of all 53 families, and applied for the entire Ojo Caliente grant. But the judge who cleared the title reduced the 44,000 acres applied for, by denying title to the common lands specified in the grant. This grant is the current site of the Ojo Caliente spa and hotel. Quote: Re-settlement. 1768-1769. Manuel Garcia Pareja, Alcalde. Tomas Velez Cachupin, Governor. The names of many settlers are given in this item. The site of the ancient pueblos near the Ojo Caliente was re-settled during the rule of Governor Tomas Velez Cachupin. There were fifty-three families and the boundaries of the tract as granted were "from the Canada de Los Cumanches to the tower (Torreori) of Jose Baca, deceased, with a small difference just below, its boundaries being on the north the Canada de Los Comanches; on the south a landmark which I ordered to be constructed of stone and mortar with a holy cross of cedar placed in the center, just below the said tower of Jose Baca; on the east the foot of the hill; and on the west the foot of the other hills on the opposite side of the river.

From here on to Fort Union there was no garrison, and the trail was wide and open and comparatively safe. [Parker, W. Thornton ] Quote: (10 April 1851) Soldiers posted in New Mexico spent much time passing around stories of grisly massacres by "the Indians" and feats of heroic derring do by intrepid frontiersmen. The tales of the White party massacre, involving as it did a "fraile, delicate, and very beautiful woman," was one that remained vivid in solders' minds for decades after the incident, often becoming embroidered and conflated with other battles. [Bennett, James A.] Overview: Wagon Mound Wagon Mound was a prominent landmark on the overland trail between Santa Fe and St. Louis. Travelers on what became known as the Cimarron cutoff often turned west here, skirting around the north side of the mesa and the Turkey (Gallinas) Mountains. The place became notorious in 1849, when Jicarilla warriors, in a salvo of an escalating war, attacked the party of Santa Fe trader James White, who was moving his family to Independence. All the men were killed in the battle, and Ann White, her servant, and her child were captured and subsequently killed.

IRB protocol # __11-0301_______ iii Abstract Fartushnikova, Irina Mikhaylovna (M.S., Museum and Field Studies) Cultural Representation in Museums: Assessing the Impact of Changes on Visitor Experience Thesis directed by Professor Jennifer Shannon In the last few decades museums in the United States had experienced major changes. Responding to extensive postmodern critique of the field, museums made a concerted effort to reevaluate their role in their communities. This “re-thinking” led to some of the most interesting changes in museum practice and how these institutions relate to their public. One of those changes is the dramatic increase in the amount of attention that museums now pay to the socio-economic and cultural diversity of their audiences. Museums are not only acknowledging that diversity, but also are focused on accommodating it within their walls.
