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.


Did the Navajo Indians disappear?

No. Today they are the largest tribe in the US with over 300,000 members. The Navajo Nation is the size of Holland and Belgium put together, 27,000 square miles. The Navajo Nation is doing well.


How do the Navajo differ from the hopi?

It is thought that the Navajo learned to grow corn beans and squash from the Hopi and other Pueblo people and from their ancestors, the Anasazi. Corn has been central to Navajo life for as long as they have been Navajo and not like other southern Athabascan peoples. It is also thought that Navajo learned to weave cotton from the Hopi and the same other groups. Among the Hopi men are weavers and among the Navajo mostly women weave. The Navajo then adapted this to weaving wool after the late 1500s and elaborated the designs to reflect Navajo philosophy. By the 1700s their weaving was famous and valued with tribes far away in the northern Great Plains
