Young Navajo in the southwest grapple with a traumatic chapter in US history.

): Young Navajo in the southwest grapple with a traumatic chapter in US history.

''Nobody shares these stories with me, and I don鈥檛 understand why I feel the way I feel. I want to know what happened.''

We learn how the story of the 1864 Long Walk slipped from US history; we dig into the legacy of the Chinese Exclusion Act; a House for Sale sign appears in France and brings back a flood of memories for a New Jersey real estate agent; a museum holds writing workshops for Holocaust survivors; and jazz musician Guillermo Nojechowicz sets his family鈥檚 immigrant story to music.

(Image: 鈥淭he Long Walk was a huge initiative undertaken by Kit Carson and his team of various military branches,鈥 Vanessa Roanhorse explains, 鈥渢o round up as many Navajos as they could, and force them on this walk.鈥 Credit: Warren Montoya)
