The Navajo Tribe are a group of Native American Indians located in the Southwest section of the United States. They live on a reservation where they abide by their own laws and rules.
Breechcloth - Long rectangular piece of hide or cloth tucked over a belt, so that the flaps fell down in front and behind.
Wool Poncho - Men did not usually wear shirts, but they began to wear wool ponchos, like the one on the chief's lap in the photo. They also did not wear headdresses but rather a headband.
Women's Clothing:
Wool dresses - After starting to herd sheep, the Navajo were able to shear wool for usage. With it, they made women dress and and heavy wool blankets to replace fur cloaks.
Male and Female Clothing:
Moccasins - These were the shoe choice of most Native American men and women, usually made of beaver and other small rodents' furs.
Shelters
The Navajo lived in earthen houses called hogans. The thick clay walls cover a wooden domed structure to protect them from the wind and rain.
Food
The women raised crops of corn, beans, and squash, while gathering nuts, fruits, and herbs.
The Spanish introduced the method of domesticating sheep and goats, the Navajos herded them for food and for their fur and wool. To supplement their diet, the men also hunted deer, antelope, and small game.
