Horses running near a settlement called The Gap, on the remote Navajo Nation’s lands in far-northeastern Arizona.
This American Indian territory of about 17,544,500 acres spills into southeastern Utah and northwestern New Mexico in the American Southwest. It is the largest land area retained by a Native American tribe, with a population of more than 350,000 (as of 2019). The surrounding terrain is wild, and no fences hold in this herd, but some are fitted with bridles so are not likely wild. Original image from Carol M.
