The Navajo Nation has one of the largest tribal lands in the United States
The Navajo Nation is spread over 25,000 square miles, which is an area the size of West Virginia, and twice as big as Maryland. The nation extends all the way to Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.
Back in 2021, the Navajo Nation surpassed the Cherokee Nation, becoming the biggest tribe by population too, with as many as 400,000 registered members. As you might have thought, Navajo had the most speakers of any other Native American language. Have you ever heard of or met someone speaking the Navajo language? It’s extremely interesting!

Good one!
This is deeply disturbing. Many of us don’t think to reeducate ourselves. Our history that is taught in school is all lies. I am Iriquois, from the northern NY state into Canada’s Quebec providence. My great great great grandmother was full blooded Iriquois, Seneca. I am proud of that and I respect all the tribes.
My maternal grandmother was a Onondaga Iroquois. I learned a lot of my Indian heritage from my grandfather. I am proud to be part of this history. Thank you for this history lesson.
It was very interesting would enjoy reading more about this as my mother was native American
What’s interesting to me, where did the ‘native’ Americans come from. If we complete a more intense historical search, the ‘native’ American came from Filipino islands which really complicate the ‘American’ claim. When tracing historical facts, we should not stop searching when we get the results we’re looking for. History requires accuracy to the historical beginning. When a complete line of heritage is gone because a ‘wacko’ kills them all, that doesn’t change historical facts!
I would think the term “native” applies to the indigenous people living here when the first Europeans came to these shores.
The truly “native” people going all the way back would all be from Mesopotamia!
Short paragraphs but loaded with precise facts .Very inspiring and informative.
Looking forward to more information .History taught never much of any facts of actual history,facts marred in time.
Excellent post! We are linking to this particularly great post on our website.
