Early on, the Navajo people were hunter-gatherers. Based on archaeological evidence, it is believed that they migrated from Eastern Alaska, down to present-day New Mexico. The Navajo moved around a lot, and even in their creation story, they moved or were forced to move a number of times before they found their home. After they came into contact with the Spanish, the Navajo began herding sheep so they could trade. There was no such thing as a business administration degree back then, but the Navajo were very successful traders none the less. In fact, trading became a very important part of Navajo culture.
