Some types of the Navajos jobs were to hunting. Not fishing, there was a taboo against eating fish. Farming corn, squash, beans, melons, chillies, peaches, onions, raising sheep, goats and cattle and horses. Gathering pinon pine nuts, yucca fruit, berries, greens, wild potatoes. Gathering herbs for healing and dying yarn. Spinning yarn and weaving rugs and blankets. Making jewelery and pottery and baskets. Being a Hataalłii , which is a spiritual leader of ceremonies. Being a traditional diagnostician. Being a Naatʼáanii (a leader) which literally means one who moves things to maturity.

Today there are 300,000 Navajo and they do every sort of job. Artists, writers, scientists, politicians, sports, farming, military, education, health care, mining, oil industry, police, government jobs, casino workers, hospitality, weaving, raising sheep, making jewelry, crafts, business owners. You name it, Navajos do it.
