American War in 1846. The United States conducted peaceful relations with the Navajo for over fifteen years. Forts were built to help protect the Navajo from Spanish/Mexican raids on the Navajo’s cattle. Eventually, a new military commander, James H.

People believe that totems originated around the Northwest Pacific Coast where Native Americans had specific rules and traditions about how they were made and used. Although no one knows for sure how long the Native Americans have been living in the North America region, it is known that their culture is very much centered around their spiritual beliefs as individual families and clans.

In the beginning of their time, the Apache Indians had migrated to the Kansas plains, where they were not accustomed to living and farming on the plains, and eventually their weakness was overtaken by the Comanche Tribe. After the Apaches were defeated and their land was seized, they moved onward to areas like New Mexico and Arizona and parts of Texas. The Apache are distant cousins of the Navajo, with

The Mexican Revolution brought multiple parties and movements out of the woodwork. In John Womack’s Zapata and the Mexican Revolution, a story of one state’s drive for agrarian reform and its people’s evolving mission was told, with Emiliano Zapata as a pivotal leader. The dynamics of the revolution, however, reach deeper than Womack’s account portrays.

The undisputed territory both sides wanted and the U.S even was willing to pay for it, but Mexico turned it down! One event that sparked that was the president of the United States J. K.

This is where the Navajo code comes in play of changing the course of the language’s downfall. When the military realized that their language was valuable, they were asked to speak it again.
