Navajo do the same things everyone else does to make a living. They are known for their silversmith work particularly using silver and turquoise. They are also known for their weaving.
Notable people with Navajo ancestry include a NASCAR racer, a nuclear physicist, members of the armed forces, professional golfers, entertainers, actors, writers, politicians, rug weavers, basket weavers, silversmiths, painters, poets, composers, singers, educators, environmentalists, comedians, dancers, graphics designers, songwriters, etc.
