We have an immediate opening for a Med Surgeon RN and a Pediatric RN in Fort Defiance, Arizona!
Fort Defiance was established in 1851. The first military post established within the Mexican Cession in what would become the Arizona Territory, its purpose was to “control” the Navajo Indians. The Army’s overtake of the land – sacred to the Diné people and critical to grazing livestock – sparked anger and resentment.
The treaty of 1868 signed at Fort Sumner, New Mexico, allowed the Navajos to return home after their brutal forced deportation called The Long Walk. Fort Defiance became Tsehootsooi in the Diné language, which means “green place among the rocks.” After World War II, given its proximity to the Navajo capital of Window Rock, it emerged as a vital commercial and residential center, with traditional hogans and modern homes sharing soil.
