| At 27000 square miles in area (70,000 km2), the Navajo Nation is much larger than I expected,
the largest reservation in the US, though only about a third of
the land originally occupied by the people, and traditionally claimed by them: the Dinetah marked by the
four peaks Mount Taylor (NM), San Francisco Peaks (AZ), Blanca Peak (CO) and Hesperus Peak (CO). The Navajo are the second largest tribe in the United States (after the Cherokee, pop. 730,000), a population of about 300,000 in the US by the 2000 census, 170,000 of whom lived within Navajo Nation territory.
