Note: This is a federally-recognized reservation stewarded by the Navajo Nation, a federally-recognized tribal entity of the same name. The reservation comprises 27,000 square miles (approximately 17,280,000 acres) spanning Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah; it is the largest reservation in the United States, constituting one-third of all indian lands in the lower 48 states. The reservation comprises myriad natural landmarks, including Monument Valley, Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Tower Butte. Though the Navajo people occupied ancestral lands in the southwest prior to Euroean contact, they did not receive a federally-recognized reservation until 1868. Since the reservation's initial establishment, it has been subject to numerous boundary changes through the late 1970s. |
