na’nilkad bee na’niltin – learning from herding: an ethnoarchaeological study of historic pastoralism in the Navajo Nation
In the Southwest of the United States, Navajo (Diné) sheepherding has changed significantly in size and intensity over time.
The Navajo Treaty of 1868 was signed 150 years ago, and during that time, a number of internal and external influences altered the Diné tribes' traditional pastoral methods.
An ethnoarchaeological examination of the past, settlement patterns, and pastoral land use of one Navajo family in Black Mesa Chapter, Arizona, was the primary focus of Phase 1 of the Early Navajo Pastoral Landscape Project.
This article provides the project's findings and explores their significance in light of current local and regional affairs as well as methodological issues pertinent to the location of sheepherding locations throughout the Navajo Nation and elsewhere.
