Killing animals and skinning them. They went through hard processes of tanning and softening the skin and then smoked it and made clothing out of it. They leaved to weave cotton early on, probably from the Pueblo peoples. After the 1540s or so, the Navajo also raised sheep and used their wool and made dyes to weave clothing and magnificent rugs. These rugs are still made by the Navajo today. The sheep themselves are unique. They are called Churro and are related to old Spanish breeds. Some have four horns. Many people still raise them, the wool has unique strength of fiber. There are some on display at the Navajo Nation Zoo in Window Rock Arizona.

On a tan background, the outline of the present Nation is shown in copper color with the original 1868 Treaty Reservation in Dark Brown. At the cardinal points in the tan field are the four sacred mountains. A rainbow symbolizing Navajo sovereignty arches over the Nation and the sacred mountains. In the center of the Nation, a circular symbol depicts the sun above two green stalks of corn, which surrounds three animals representing the Navajo livestock economy, and a traditional hogan and modern home. Between the hogan and the house is an oil derrick symbolizing the resource potential of the Tribe, and above this are representations of the wild fauna of the Nation. At the top near the sun, the modern sawmill symbolizes the progress and industry characteristic of the Navajo Nation's economic development.

There are clans. About 60. But they are always mixing because it is taboo to marry anyone in any of the four clans of your grandparents (or related ones). The Navajo live in a large area so there were different leaders and slighlty different traditions and accents in different areas.

Traditionally Navajo people put a very high value on personal autonomy. Higher than standard white American culture. There were no overall single "chiefs" or leaders who could control or order others around or tell them how to act or what to do. There were no hereditary leaders. This was very very hard for the Spanish and later the Americans to understand. They felt there should naturally be one man who could speak for and order everyone else around.

each area or clan or family group had influential people who were leaders of course but they could only act by convincing others.

There often was said to be a "peace leader" and a "war leader" for each group or area. Most things in Navajo culture exist in complementary pairs. They would meet and have ceremonies at times. Sometimes 12 of each would gather for a tribe wide ceremony and meeting.

Native American governments ( Iroquois Confederacy) provided the foundation for the United States of America. Native American have historically provided knowledge on how to live off the land, to use effectively what the Creator has given them. They have given medicinal uses for plants unknown to the non-Indian. Native American have fought side by side with their non-Indian counterparts in all the wars, even before they were considered humans, let alone granted citizenship by the country they served. They have been the inspiration in many fighting techniques still used today by our nation's elite.
