The majority of Navajo land is located in the northeastern part of Arizona, northwestern part of New Mexico, and southeastern part of Utah in the United States. This area is known as the Navajo Nation, which is the largest Native American reservation in the country.

Where ever they want to.

yeah the A's did have a holiday but i don't know the name of the holiday.:) :)

The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and it's aftermath of the Reconquest in 1692. Then the destruction and killings of the Hopi converts and missionaries in 1700 at Awatovi.

In this time period, some Hopi joined the Navajo with living to the east of them in the Beautiful Valley and Chinle area. It is thought that the Táchii'nii clan has it's roots in this time. Tobacco, Tansy, Masked dancer, Rabbit, Bluebird, Deer divisions of Táchii'nii have exact correspondence with Hopi clans. Also Clans with livestock derived names - like Tł'ízí Łání (Many Goats) , Tł'ízí łichi'í (Red Goats) , and Dibé Łizhiní (Black Sheep) are thought to have Pueblo roots. Further, there are Hopi clans for bear, corn reed, squash, sun and turkey that share names with Navajo Clans. Because it is forbidden to marry into any of ones related clans many clan origins come from non Navajo roots. The Navajo although they have remained Athabaskan at base are thought to have mulitethnic roots.

Sinew backed wooden recurved bows and arrows. Spears and lances, knives with blades first made of stone and later, metal. Guns were traded for from the 1700s onwards.

Emancipation – A child is emancipated when self-supporting, independent, and free of parent control. T’aabiak’inaaldzil doctrine. Burbank v. Clarke, No SC-CV-36-97, slip op. at 4 (Nav. Sup. Ct. 199).

Twenty nine Navajo men created a code to help the American war effort in world war two. The code was never broken by the Japanese. The Navajo women worked in factories, planted victory gardens, and took over the mens general duties while the men were at war. The women volunteered for red cross. They gave away practically all the natural resources they had to help the war effort, they were given nothing in return. Not all Navajo soldiers were code talkers some were general soldiers.

The code was top secret until 1968. The former code talkers were not allowed to tell anyone what they did. Most returned to the Navajo Nation and many became prominent tribal members. They were treated the same as all other Native Vets. Many were active in working towards getting the right to vote in Arizona. In 1982 the code talkers were honored and later they all got Congressional gold medals in 2001.

One place on the Navajo Nation to see information about the code talkers is at the Burger King in Kayenta, Arizona. The owner's father, King Mike, was a code talker and he has a small museum there. It has probably the best collection in the country. He did know what his father did until he found a postcard photo of Okinawa.

The people of Eastern Woodlands would hunt to get food. Fishing is another thing. But mostly it was farming and hunting.

The word Navajo does not come from Spanish. The Spanish learned it in the middle 1500s when they were asking Pueblo Tewa speakers names of the the different Apache related groups. They were told the Dine' were the "Apache of the wide or river bottom fields". "Navahu'u" is Tewa for "farm fields in a valley". Navajo is how the Spanish then spelled it.

The Navajo language is related to other Apache languages about the same as Italian is to Spanish or Portuguese. The word Apache is thought to come from the Zuni language word for "enemy" or "stranger"

Some other Apache groups were the Jicarilla ("little basket") and Mescalero ( mescal was a food staple) Apache.

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.

The Navajo grew corn, beans, squash, melons, peaches, onions, chillies and other crops. They raised sheep, goats and sometimes cattle.They gathered pinon pine nuts, pigweed and beeweed greens, yucca fruit, cactus fruit, wild potato, sumac berries, chokecherry, currants and many other berries and herbs. They hunted deer, antelope, elk, rabbit, prairie dog, and other animals. They have been growing and raising these crops since the late 1500s. Before that they grew mainly corn, squash and beans and hunted and gathered wild foods.

Today most people go to the supermarket but some people still grow crops and raise sheep and goats.

The word Navajo comes from a Spanish interpretation of a Tewa word meaning "farms in wide river bottom fields." They were called early on Apache de Navajo to distinguish them from other Apache groups such as Mescalero or Jicarilla.

Yes, The Navajo Nation today covers 27,000 square miles and crosses State boundaries so it is in Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. It is a portion of their traditional lands between the four sacred mountains.

I'm not sure about proper phonetic spelling, but ownaheelee pot achookma would be the best way I could describe how to pronounce it in Chahta.

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.

hatsilí-- ones younger brother, shitsilí--my younger brother, nitsilí-- your younger brother, nihitsilí --our younger brother, atsilí--- someone's younger brother, bitsilí--his/her/it's younger brother

hatsilíké-- plural-ones younger brothers

halah, shilah, nilah ...etc---sibling of the opposite sex, for a female speaker- a brother

hak'is, ak'is, shik'is, nik'is...etc--sibing of the same sex, for a male speaker- a brother

"Brother" is one of a type of words in Navajo that must always be in the possessive.

The marks above vowels are high tone indicators.

The k' is a glottalized k sound, different than a regular K.
