How is Navajo culture today similar to the early Navajo culture?
The Navajo have a remarkable ability to assimilate new ideas and technologies and make them Navajo. We believe the early Athabascan ancestors of the Navajo were hunter gatherers when they entered the Southwest probably about 900 years ago. By the 1300s or so they were growing corn, beans and squash and weaving cotton and making pottery. By the 1600s they were increasingly raising sheep and goats and weaving wool. In the 1700s they began to make silver jewelry. Large numbers, as percentage, served in the US military in the 20th century. Today there are 300,000 Navajo and they do almost every conceivable job. The Navajo have changed in many more ways but these are some of the outlines. Through it all, as far back as we can know, the four sacred mountains, Changing Woman, pollen, and the concept of Hózhǫ́ has been important.

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
