Native Americans Tribes


Well to start this new post I would like to say a short introduction of the Navajos tribe.  are the largest single federally recognized tribe of the United States of America. The Navajo Nation has 300,048 enrolled tribal members. The Navajo Nation constitutes an independent governmental body which manages the Navajo Indian reservation in the Four Corners area of the United States. The Navajo language is spoken throughout the region, although most Navajo speak English as well.
.
Navajo is a tribe that was located between New Mexico, Arizona, Texas
In this project we have to travel and arrive in five tribes and get at least 3 needs.



the list of tribes that Navajo needs to visit are:


Mandan
Miwok
Snoqualmie
kotenai
Nex Perce


First visit was the tribe Miwok where the tribe will go towards the northern california 


There the tribe trade with miwok and change an a corn for a  was that will be useful later.


One use of corn is the making of utilities or for food and clothing.








Second tribe to visit is in north dakota, this is the Mandan tribe where the navajos exchange
a turqoise for jewelry because it is necessary for their tribe.


jewelry is very important to the Navajos and that it can create all your precious sones for dressing well.







The third and fourth tribe left in Northern Idaho / Western Montana, the nearest tribe is the Kootenai tribe there navajo changes a medicinal plant (it is very important to the tribe, which has over 450 species of wild plants for medicinal Purposes) by a red and black paint pigment where this material will be changed in the next tribe. The Nex Perce tribe neighbor is exchanged on the red and black paint pigment for bison hides.

Bison hides food is a must for the Navajo tribe.






Finally the last tribe to visit Snoqualmie is located in Oregon / Washington. After an arduous journey finally Navajo tribe reaches its final destination where it changes the pipestone  obtained at the first stop  for an a obsidian.


Obsidian is a very valuable tool to make and sharpen weapons at the time of the Navajo.
