"The northern Navajo frontier between 1860 and 1900 saw a turbulent period of Navajo expansion. With the incarceration of many at Bosque Redondo and the subsequent push of the remainder into peripheral areas, the Navajos adapted to this situation by forming friendships with the Paiutes and later the Utes, to help relieve the pressures of conflict. These relationships continued long after the main body of Navajos returned from their captivity. Starting in the 1880's, they were able to pursue an aggressive defensive policy when faced with the advancing Euro-American frontier. Mormons, gentile settlers, cattle companies, traders, and miners called forth varying responses, all of which fell short of open warfare but allowed the Indians to maintain or expand their borders. By the early 1900's, the Navajos had added significant holdings of land to their reservation and actively participated in determining their future." [Author's abstract]
