Best Answer

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.
