How is Navajo culture similar to the early Navajo culture?
Much of Navajo culture is the same even though it has gradually changed. Many things that are new to the Navajo become "Navajo-ized". For example working with silver came from the Spanish long ago but the patterns and aesthetics are very Navajo with fourfold symmetry and stones that have traditional religious/philosophical meanings. Weaving probably came from the Pueblo peoples and yet the themes are very Navajo. Even the word for car is not borrowed but from how the first model T's sounded- "Chidi", from chidi, chidi, chidi. Many Navajo live very modern "American" lives, but many others still have sheep and grow corn. Many still speak the Navajo language and many practice the traditional religion. For example, many people have a " first laugh" ceremony for their baby. Traditional philosophy is alive and well on the Navajo Nation
