Manuelito (Hastiin Ch'il Haajiní)

1818 CE1893 CE · Dine Bikeyah (Navajo)

Hastiin Ch'il Haajini, known as Manuelito, was a war leader of the Navajo (Dine) during the mid-nineteenth century conflicts with the United States in the Southwest. He resisted the U.S. campaign that culminated in the 1864 forced removal known as the Long Walk and the internment of the Dine at Bosque Redondo. After the Navajo were allowed to return to a portion of their homeland in 1868, he became a leading figure in rebuilding the Nation. He died in 1893.
