Originally hunter/gatherers, the Navaho people of the American Southwest learned agriculture from the Pueblo Indians. Of all they grew, Corn was the most important crop.

They still use it to make something called "kneeldown bread", Navajo cake, and Navajo pancakes. They used blue corn to make blue dumplings, blue corn mush and blue bread. They served whole corn in a variety of ways including steamed corn, and roasted corn.

In addition, they learned to raise sheep and goats from the Spanish explorers. And these are livestock which continue to provide the majority of protein in their diet.
