The vast majority are in the Navy (47%) and more females serve than from other populations.

∙ 9y agoIn terms of a federally recognized tribe with a treaty relationship with the US government there has been only one Navajo tribe. Historically, prior to their relationship with the US they were not one politically unit but they were culturally and linguistically one people with some region variations. There never was one over all leader and they lived spread out across thousands of square miles in groups of several related families who sometimes historically were called "outfits". The Spanish, who for 300 years were not really able to conquer them, had a very hard time understanding this idea.
