How are the Navajo and Cherokee alike and different?
Well, they're alike because they both got in conflict with the Americans. The Cherokee had the Trail of Tears and the Navajo the Long Walk. They both grew crops. Both tribes also treasured horses and made pottery. They both have close to 300,000 members today. They were different in many ways. The Navajo are from the high alitude desert Southwest, the Cherokee from the wooded Southeast. The Navajo returned to their native land, the Cherokee made a new life in Okalahoma ( except for some who remained in the east). The Navajo increased the size of their lands to 27,000 square miles. The Cherokee last much of their lands in the Dawes Act and the creation of the state of Oklahoma. Thee Cherokee were viewed as more civilized and had slaves and created a written language and most became very literate. The Navajo after 1540 became more and more of a sheep herding people. Their languages are completely different as is their religion and culture.
