They raised sheep, goats, cattle, horses, turkey. They grew corn, squash, pumpkin, beans, melon, peaches, chillies, onion.
They gathered pinon pine nuts, yucca fruit, mescal, sumac and many other berries, beeweed and other greens. They hunted, elk, antelope, deer, every so often buffalo (mostly not in their area), prairie dog , rabbit. They hunted with bow and arrow, guns, throwing sticks, and a stick you put in a hole and twist to catch in the animals fur.
They practiced the many ceremonies of the traditional Navajo religion.
They enjoyed horse races. They played games like the Shoe game and Stick game and told stories in the winter. They were famous for weaving and jewelery.
They sometimes fought with other tribes and with the Spanish. They traded with all the neighboring tribes and Spanish too. They were victims of a extensive slave trade. Neighboring tribes would capture Navajo and sell them to the Spanish. The women were valued for weaving skills by the Spanish. In the mid 1800s it was estimated by the Americans that around 4000-6000 Navajos were enslaved in what is now New Mexico and Northern Mexican States of Chihuahua and Sonora.
