Native American : Navajo Hoop Dance

Navajo (sometimes spelled Navaho), or Dine' , (means The People in Navajo) refers or relates to the Navajo people, currently the second largest Federally recognized Native American tribe in the United States, with 298,197 people claiming to be full or partial Navajo, according to the 2000 U.S. census.The DinÃ's traditional boundaries are the four sacred mountains, which actually include an area much larger than the present-day reservation. The boundaries of the Nation itself are the Ute Mountain Ute Indian Reservation at the Four Corners Monument and stretch across the Colorado Plateau into Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico.Long Walk of the Navajo: In 1863 and 1864, as the Anglo settlers' demand for land grew, the United States government forced more than 8,500 Navajo men, women and children to march in harsh winter conditions for hundreds of miles to Bosque Redondo, New Mexico (present-day Ft. Sumner) as part of President Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act. Some Navajos were able to escape and hide at Navajo Mountain, along the Little Colorado and Colorado Rivers, and in the Grand Canyon. As the march went on, the Navajo were forced to leave their elderly and young children behind to die. Five months later, the Navajos arrived at Bosque Redondo. Many Navajos died at the wretched prison camp, due to poor living conditions. The Navajos were imprisoned for about six years, and released in May 1868. Bosque Redondo had been proved as a miserable failure, because of poor planning, disease, crop infestation and generally poor conditions for agriculture.Navajo used drum and flutes during their Pow Wows. This shows an honor to their Gods.

You missed up on the é in diné in the paragraph. Also, I'd like to point out that the Navajo have the highest Blood Quantum requirement to claim membership of the tribe. I'm a dancer and it's fun!
