Navajo Indian
Reservation
Occupants of northwest New Mexico since the 16th century, the Navajos today comprise the most populous Indian group in the United States. The 17th, 18th and 19th centuries witnessed alternate periods of conflict and trading with their neighbors. The Navajos economy traditionally has been based on stock raising, weaving, silversmithing, and more recently on mineral development.
