Inscription. The Navajo Nation extends into the states of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. With a 27,000-square-mile reservation and over 250,000 citizens, the Navajo Tribe is the largest American Indian tribe in the United States today. Although only a small portion of the reservation extends north of the San Juan River, Navajos consider the Mesa Verde region part of their larger world because it lies within the area bounded by the four sacred mountains. Diné Bikéyah, or Navajoland, is larger than 10 of the 50 states in America. The story of the Diné is one of strength and resilience. Ancestors overcame struggles related to assimilation including removal, government schools so the Diné people could continue traditions today.
