Navajo Indians

It's a traditional Goan drink made from coconuts or cashew apples.

In May 1942, the first 29 Navajo recruits attended boot camp. Then, at Camp Middleton, Oceanside, California, this first group created the Navajo code. They developed a dictionary and numerous words for military terms. The dictionary and all code words had to be memorized during training.

Cherokee Indians would dig holes in the ground in the fall and then line them with deer skins or other animal skins such as buffalo, but they preferred deer skin as it was more pliable. They would also wrap many of their sacred medicine plants in leaves and place them in reed baskets that were woven by the women. To preserve berries that they would collect they would cut open gourds and create a bowl like encasement and place the gathered berries inside the gourds and would also wrap the gourds with animal skins to prevent them being dug up by wandering animals. Cherokee also consumed nuts and would grind the shells for protection of delicate plants as the ground nut shells would prevent mold on the berries and the delicate plants that they would dry in the summer.Some of the holes were 6 ft and some were less deep. The Cherokee would then make a covering for the hole with wood and a mixture of mud and ground shells and reeds. The substance was much like that which was used for the building of log cabins. They would cover their underground 'refrigerators' with the woven wood structures and then place upon them animal skins to prevent moisture from seeping in. They would mark their underground food sources with large boulders or three way interwoven branches. In the winter time the Cherokee people were sparse with their preserved vegetables and would hunt rabbit, squirrel and other animals. They would never waste any part of an animal and would also boil the bones and make a broth. Fishing in the winter-time was also common, but they also preserved fish in the same way they did other animal. Dried in the sun during the summer time and often buried underground in case of a long winter. Water sources were also sanitized by boiling.

The Navajo tribe used spears and bow and arrows for weapons.

The Navajo Code Talkers were recruited to create an unbreakable code for use in World War II which ultimately helped win the war. The Japanese were able to break every American code until then.

To transmit, accurately and rapidly, over open radio waves, using no code-book or machine, military orders and information during battle against the Japanese in the Pacific WWII. The code used Navajo language as a base to encode the messages but was not comprehensible to Navajo who did not learn the code. It was about ten times faster than machine or code book codes and was never broken.

The Apache tribe are located in Arizona, New Mexico AND Oklahoma and Texas. The most of the ones ( except the Plains Apache) in Oklahoma were forced to move there by the US government and army. The Apache reservations are in Arizona and New Mexico. Some Apache have moved to large metropolitan areas. Some Apacheans were employed in migrant farm labor and relocated to the central agricultural regions of Southern California.

The federally recognized tribes are: Apache Tribe of Oklahoma, Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, Arizona, Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma, Jicarilla Apache Nation, New Mexico, Mescalero Apache Tribe of the Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico, San Carlos Apache Tribe of the San Carlos Reservation, Arizona, Tonto Apache Tribe of Arizona, White Mountain Apache Tribe of the Fort Apache Reservation, Arizona, Yavapai-Apache Nation of the Camp Verde Indian Reservation, Arizona. The Chiricahua were divided into two groups after they were released from being prisoners of war. Most are at the Mescalero Reservation. The Lipan Apache are also there. The other Chiricahua are enrolled in the Fort Sill Apache Tribe of Oklahoma. The Plains Apache are located in Oklahoma, headquartered around Anadarko, and are federally recognized as the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma.

The Navajo are not considered Apache but because they have related languages they are as a group called Apachean, During first contact they lived in eastern Arizona, northern Mexico, New Mexico, west and southwest Texas, and southern Colorado and Kansas

The Apachean groups did not have much political or cultural unity. They spoke seven related languages. They had distinct and competitive with each other. cultures. Within each group of the Apache they lived in many independent bands. For example the Western Apache lived in at least 20 distinct bands. The Mescalero about 10 each with there own territory and traditions.

There are many ways to make food less pure. Improper hand washing or cleaning of work surfaces would be a major factor.

High desert plateau and mountains. Much of it is a steppe like climate. The elevation ranges from 4000 - 8000 feet with some higher mountains to 10,000. So there is a big range in climate. There is snow in the winter and it is cold at night. Mostly it is low humidity. The total precipitation is low. There are thunderstorms in the summer. Some is very dry desert, much is pinyon pine and juniper steppe and some it high mountains with pine and fir and spruce.

because of the rarity of their language, the chances of a Japanese code breaker speaking Navajo was pretty remote.

The Navajo ceremonial baskets, called ts'aa', are made of sumac ( chiilchin in Navajo) and sometimes yucca fiber and devils claw. They are always white, black and red. There are many taboos that must be avoided in their making. Many are made by Ute or Paiute women today as the they are not subject to the same taboos. They are a necessary item for many rituals.

Just like other Americans, the Navajo people have pets. Cats and dogs are popular. People also keep and have kept, for hundreds of years, dogs as working animals to herd sheep. The Navajo have had sheep since at least the 1600's, perhaps as early as the 1540's.

Animism is the belief that all plants and animals, or even all physical objects, have spirits. Some animists believe that collectively we are all part of the spirit of the cosmos creating itself.

Yes. Hogans are sacred to the Navajo people.

corn, beans, squash, and sunflowers, as well as cotton and tobacco.

The Navajo children liked to play archery games and horse riding. They also played with toys and dolls. One of the main traditions in the Navajo was weaving, lots of the Navajo women liked to weave. They weaved things like rugs, blankets, toys, dolls and more.

The Navajo would sleep on beds that they made. Their beds were made out of buffalo hide. This hide was more comfortable than sleeping on the ground inside their Hogans.

The Navajo Indians live the Southwest region of the United States. This region, which includes Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, is known as having desert lands and mountains with an arid to semi-arid climate. There is very little rainfall.

The Navajo (Dine') Reservation is in the Great Basin Desert region of the southwestern United States.

Traditional Navajo culture did use boats. The rivers in their lands are not easily navigable and they have a taboo against eating fish.

The four sacred rivers between the Four Sacred mountains are the Rio Grande, San Juan, Colorado, and little Colorado.

These are not river that one can easily take a boat back and forth on. The rapids of Colorado were first run in 1869. It is unlikely that anyone willingly did it and survived before that.

Yes the Navajo Indians are an Indian tribe. They are located in the Southwestern part of the United States of America and their climate is steppe. The region is the Intermountain region. The only reason the climate is steppe is because the Navajo Indians have very hot Summer, very cold Winters, and very little rainfall. Which is the descruption if the climate Steppe.
