N2  - 	 "The Navajo Peace Treaty, negotiated between the United States government and the Navajo tribe, June 1, 1868 brought to an end one of the most tragic and dramatic periods in history. During the spring of 1864, more than 7,000 Navajo men, women, and children were driven across the barren plains of New Mexico to Fort Summer, where a reservation held them prisoner for four years of hardship, disease, and near starvation -- before their plight reached the ears of the newly organized Peace Commission in Washington, DC."--Preface.
