Comment[edit]

This page needs a little help with language, but the ideas are good. Related subject is the Long Walk of the Navajo. I will do an edit and make comments on any major changes below. Please comment. --Rcollman 10:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion as a non native american, the Navajos were one of the few groups to be allowed to return to a reservation in their original homeland after being removed. In the 1860s, the Navajos were one of many large tribes. In the following 100 years, upon return to their "new reservation", they increased their population and increased the size of the reservation many times, unlike any other group of native americans.

Their culture, "The Navajo Way" was reinforced in the Long Walk period. In part because they were all brought together in a confined space, their leadership and culture adapted to a new situtation. In pre Long Walk Navajoland, they were really bands/groups which had clan affiliations and were spread out over a large area. Upon return they changed. A pretty amazing story from any perspective.--Rcollman 11:54, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A further comment[edit]

"Since it housed "combatants", it was not a concentration camp.Cazedessus (talk) 16:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)"[reply]

This comment was initially put inside the main page by User:Cazedessus. I put it back where it belongs, the discussion page.--Cgolds (talk) 23:34, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It "housed" some Navajo's who fought the United States Army and "citizens". It also "housed" women and children and old men, who were definitely not combatants. The majority of the Navajo and Apaches who were "escorted" to Ft. Sumner were non-combatants. Please note, some people do not recognize a difference between a reservation and a concentration camp. --Rcollman (talk) 21:53, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
