Description:
The Bosque Redondo Memorial in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, commemorates a tragic chapter in Native American history, particularly the forced relocation and internment of the Navajo (Diné) and Mescalero Apache tribes during the 1860s. Established as part of the U.S. government's efforts to subdue and assimilate Native peoples, Bosque Redondo became a site of suffering due to poor living conditions, disease, and inadequate resources. The memorial today serves as a place of reflection on this dark period, honoring the resilience and survival of the Navajo and Apache people, while educating visitors on the historical significance of the site.
