'''Narbona''' or '''Hastiin Narbona''' (1766 – August 3031, 1849) was a [[Navajo people|Navajo]] chief who participated in the [[Navajo Wars]]. He was killed in a confrontation with U.S. soldiers on August 3031, 1849.
 
Narbona was one of the wealthiest Navajo of his time due to the amountnumber of sheep and horses owned by his extended family group. He was not a "chief" of all of the Navajo, as the independent minded Navajo had no central authority. However, he was very influential in the tribe due to the status gained from his wealth, personal reputation, and age during the time he negotiated with the white men.
 
Narbona became one of the most prominent tribal leaders after the massacre of 24 Navajo leaders in June, 1822 at [[Jemez Pueblo]]. They had been travelling under flag of truce to a peace conference with the New Mexican government.<ref>Pages 67, 68, Sides, ''Blood and Thunder''</ref><ref name = "1821_1847">[http://www.lapahie.com/Timeline_Mexican_1821_1847.cfm Navajo Timeline 1821-1847]</ref> In February 1835 he led the Navajo to a decisive victory in an ambush of a Mexican expedition in the [[Chuska Mountains]] led by Captain [[Blas de Hinojos]]. The site of the battle, Copper Pass ({{spell-nv|Béésh Łichííʼí Bigiizh}}), is now known as [[Narbona Pass]].<ref name = "1821_1847" /><ref>Pages 75-77, Sides, ''Blood and Thunder''</ref>
Line 11 ⟶ 56:
In 1849, Narbona, with several hundred of his warriors, rode to meet a delegation led by Col. [[John M. Washington]] to discuss peace terms between the Navajo and the "New Men", Americans who had driven the Mexicans from what is now the Southwestern United States. The U.S. party was composed of both [[Regular Army (United States)|U.S. Regulars]] and local New Mexican auxiliaries.
 
After several misunderstandings, translators managed to work out an acceptable list of terms for peace between the two parties. As the peace council broke up, Sadoval, a young Navajo warrior of some distinction, began riding his horse to and fro, exhorting the 200–300 Navajo warriors in attendance to break the new treaty immediately, starting with the massacre of Col. Washington's command. At this point, a [[New Mexico|New Mexican]] officer claimed that he noticed a horse that belonged to him being ridden by one of the Navajo warriors. Washington, put in the position of backing one of his troopers, demanded that the horse be immediately turned over. The Navajo refused, and the horse and its rider departed.
 
Washington commanded his troops to unlimber their cannon and prepare to fire if the Navajo refused to return the, now absent, property the Americans said was stolen. The Navajo again denied his request, and the Americans opened fire with cannon as well as rifles.
