The House on Tuesday approved a bill to consider designating the Navajo Long Walk as a National Historic Trail.

The 300-mile walk was taken by Navajo tribal members after being rounded up by the U.S. Army. After spending four years interned at a prison camp in New Mexico, Navajo leaders signed the 1868 treaty and the tribe walked back to the Four Corners area.
