  3. HISTORY & GEOGRAPHY The Navajo learned how to grow crops, make clothes and pottery, and how to weave from the Pueblos. Then in the 1600’s U.S. troops took over the Navajo’s sheep ranches, and forced them to move which was called the long walk. The Navajo, Pueblo and Apache tribes all joined forces to attack the Spanish, they barely won. ancestral.com MORE History & Geography MAIN MENU

  5. HOMES The Navajo live in houses called Hogans. Hogans are round or they could have 6 to 8 sides. Hogans are about 20 feet long, with one door on each end that opens to the east. They are made of wood bark and mud. On the top of a Hogan there is a square that is used for smoke when they have fires. The Navajo also had Ramadas which are used for shade and to play cook and weave in. http://www.worldbookonline.com/student/extmedia?id=ar092440&st=navajo%20indians&em=pc314197 • / MAIN MENU
