Description: The Bosque Redondo Memorial at the Fort Sumner Historic Site in New Mexico commemorates the tragic history of the Navajo (Diné) and Mescalero Apache people who were forcibly relocated to the Bosque Redondo Reservation in the 1860s. This historic site acknowledges the suffering endured during the "Long Walk," a 300-mile forced march, and the harsh conditions at the reservation, where thousands perished. The memorial serves as a place of reflection and education, honoring the resilience of these communities while promoting awareness of this somber chapter in U.S. history.
