Manuelito

Manuelito, often referred to as "Manuelito the Great," was a prominent Navajo leader in the 19th century, particularly known for his role during conflicts between the Navajo Nation and the United States government. He advocated for the rights and sovereignty of the Navajo people during a time of forced removal and hardship, notably the Long Walk to Bosque Redondo. Manuelito is remembered for his leadership, resilience, and dedication to preserving Navajo culture and land. His legacy continues to inspire many within Native American communities today.
