Today, most of the 300,000 members of the Navajo Nation go to the store, often in a pickup truck.
The Navajo traditionally grew corn, squash and beans. After 1540 or so they raised sheep and goats for meat and wool, and raised peaches, melons, onions, chillies, wheat and other crops.
They gathered pinyon pine nuts, yucca fruit, cactus fruit, wild greens, teas, and many berries.
They hunted rabbits, elk, deer, antelope and other small game.
Some Navajo people today still raise corn and other crops and raise sheep for meat and wool. People still gather nuts and teas and dyes.
