Corn (maize) is the most important crop. In the Navajo language it is: naadą́ą́ʼ

As well a being staple food, corn and corn pollen are important in religious ritual and prayer and in creation stories.

Sheep which came with the Spanish in the 1540s is also very important for food and wool for weaving rugs.

The modern tribe also has one of the largest single irrigated farms in the US that produces potatoes for the Lays potato chip company as well as other crops. It is a significant for jobs and an income source.
