Navajo

The Navajo are a Native American people primarily living in the southwestern United States, particularly in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. They have a rich cultural heritage, including their own language, which is a complex and unique of the Athabaskan language family. Historically, the Navajo were skilled at sheep herding, weaving, and silversmithing. They played a significant role during World War II by developing a code based on their language, which helped encrypt military communications. Today, the Navajo Nation is a federally recognized tribe with its own government, preserving cultural traditions while engaging in modern economic and social development.
