The Navajo Indians A Report By: Rachel
The Navajo Indians were a very
interesting tribe to learn and study about. The
things that interested me the most were their simple lifestyle. They had no
electricity, running water, or indoor plumbing. Life couldn't get
much simpler than this!
Navajo Indians lived in houses
called hogans. These houses were made of mud, wooden
poles, and tree bark. Many Navajo today still live in hogans.
The
Pueblo Indians taught the Navajo many skills. They taught them to plant crops,
such as melon, corn, beans, and squash. This is why the Navajo were referred to
as farmers, sheep herders, and laborers. Other skills of the Navajo are sand
paintings, jewelry making, and rug weaving.
Navajo
Indians wore shoes called moccasins to protect their feet from the hot, desert
ground and cactus. They were made from leather or rawhide.
Navajo
Indians held ceremonies called Night Chants. They wore masks and shook rattles
while praying for rain and good crops. The ceremonies lasted for nine days!
The
Navajo were warlike. They would sometimes raid other Indians,
Mexicans, and white men. They would steal horses, sheep, and cows. In 1863, Kit
Carson marched 400 men through Canyon de Chelly, the stronghold of the Navajo.
Carson and his men killed so much livestock and destroyed so many crops, that
the Navajo begged for peace. Carson gathered the Navajo and moved them to Fort
Sumner in New Mexico. They were held prisoners there until 1867.
So as you can see, the Navajo Indians were a very interesting tribe to learn and
study about.
