Navajo Treaty Signed Here On June 1, 1868 (Field)
The Treaty of 1868 was signed in this field on June 1, 1868. The treaty allowed the Navajo to leave the Bosque Redondo Indian Reservation and return home in the Four Corners region as a sovereign people. By definition, a treaty is signed by two sovereign nations. Thus, the Treaty of 1868 established, under Federal Law, the sovereignty of the Navajo Nation. A copy of the Treaty is in the Memorial gallery.
