Description

In the 1860s, peoples of the Navajo and Mescalero Apache were forcefully removed from their homelands to the Bosque Redondo reservation at Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The Navajo were marched from the northwestern region of New Mexico 400 miles to the banks of the Pecos River, thousands perishing along the way on what is known as the Long Walk.

I visited the memorial in the winter of 2008. The landscape surrounding the Bosque Redondo has been scarred with violence, heartache, and suffering. However, along the river bank, dried sunflowers stood tall at the edge of the water commemorative of the courage and endurance that has also left its footprint upon the ground along the banks of the Pecos at Fort Sumner. ~April
