Navajo (Or Navaho) Indians

Navajo (Or Navaho) Indians,
numerous shepherd tribe now living on a large reservation in the mountains of northern Arizona and New Mexico, and southern Utah. After a long-continued war with the Spanish and American settlers, they were finally subdued by Kit Carson (1863–64) and have since been peaceful and industrious agriculturists, known for the high state of their native culture. They figure in Bandelier's The Delight Makers, La Farge's Laughing Boy, Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop, and William Eastlake's Portrait of an Artist with Twenty-Six Horses.
