Navajo - The Long Walk, Part 6

The Bosque Rodondo reservation covered about 160 square miles.  The Navajo were forced to eat food that was not part of their regular diet, sickening many.

This clip includes many photos from the National Archives, depicting the plight of the Navajos and Apaches who made it to Bosque Rodondo.
