The extension of American rule in 1848 over the region and the rapid colonization by the Mormons after 1847 posed serious problems for the Indians living on both sides of the canyon country of the Colorado River basin. On the eastern side American relations with the Navajos ran a stormy course until a majority of the tribe was starved out of their stronghold in Canyon de Chelly and exiled to Bosque Redondo in 1864. In 1868 the Indians were permitted to return and were assigned to a reservation astride the Arizona-New Mexico boundary. During the course of the warfare and exile, many Navajos fled into the canyon lands of the San Juan country. Others worked their way westward toward the Colorado River and crossed it to raid the settlements on the advancing Mormon frontier, which was already plagued with Indian difficulties. [text]
