Navajo Social Organization in Land Use Planning

Abstract
The historic southwestern homeland of the Navajo included the country west of the Chama river in northern New Mexico. To the north of them were the Utes, a migratory hunting and gathering peoples, living in widely scattered family bands; to the east along the Rio Grande valley were various sedentary agricultural pueblo peoples. When the Navajo first arrived in the Southwest they were probably a migratory hunting peoples, but their association with a sedentary population and the adoption of the techniques of cultivation must have produced marked changes in their economy.
