Manuelito

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.07 sec.

Manuelito (c. 1818–1894)

US Navajo war leader. He was the last chief to hold out against a scorched-earth campaign by the US government to defeat the Navajo. After surrendering his starving people in 1865, he led them to exile where thousands died due to deplorable conditions. In 1876 he journeyed to Washington, DC, to plead for a reservation nearer his people's homeland. The principal chief from 1870–85, he was also selected in 1872 to head the Navajo Indian Police Force. Manuelito was born in present-day Utah.
