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.
