"The To'Hajiilee Navajo Chapter" (Navajo: 'Tó Hajiileehé'), also spelled To'hajiilee, formerly known as the 'Cañoncito Band of Navajo Indians' is a non-contiguous section of the Navajo Nation lying in parts of western Bernalillo, eastern Cibola and southwestern Sandoval counties, in the U.S. state of New Mexico, west of the city of Albuquerque. 'Tó Hajiileehé' is a Navajo phrase, roughly translated in English as: "Dipping Water". It was formed on "The Long Walk", during the forced relocation of Navajo tribal people, in 1864. Navajo people were forced to walk from their land in western New Mexico Territory (modern-day Arizona and New Mexico) to Bosque Redondo, in eastern New Mexico. Some 53 different 'forced marches' occurred, between August 1864 and the end of 1866. In total, 10,000 Navajo and 500 Mescalero Apache people were forced to the internment camp in Bosque Redondo.During the forced march and internment, up to 3,500 people died from starvation and disease, over a four-year period. (*NOTE: "There is a separate video in this channel for "The Long Walk".) Residents there claim, that people who settled there were considered (and still are, infrequently) a 'renegade' band, who refused to go further.. and settled in this part of New Mexico known as the checkerboard, where both Pueblo and Navajo people share the land and live, to this day. They have a land area of 121.588 square miles (314.911 km2) and a 2000 census population of 1,649 people. The land area is only about 0.5% of the entire Navajo Nation's total. The name comes from the Navajo phrase 'tó hajiileé', meaning: "where people draw up water by means of a cord, or rope, one quantity after another."
