The Navajo

   
       
  Here is a good overview of the Navajo tribe's traditions and history.  http://inkido.indiana.edu/w310work/romac/navajo.htm

This site discusses the different types of shelter used by the various Native American Tribes.  Remember the Navajo built houses called Hogans!! http://www.thewildwest.org/interface/index.php?action=202

Here is a page with a TON of information on the traditional home of the Navajo - the Hogan.  http://www.kstrom.net/isk/maps/houses/hogan.html

Wikipedia's page on the Navajo Hogan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogan

This site discusses the traditional food eaten by the Navajo tribe.  Remember the Navajo often refer to themselves as "Diné" and not the Navajo. http://www.ic.arizona.edu/ic/kmartin/School/navajofood.htm

Using the same site as the above link, this is a short entry on the Navajo Hogan.  http://www.ic.arizona.edu/ic/kmartin/School/navajohogan.htm

Yet another use of "the First Americans" site here are examples of the Navajo's skill at making jewelry and traditional woven rugs. http://www.ic.arizona.edu/ic/kmartin/School/navajoart.htm
