Navajo Tribe
The Navajo are natives of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Navajos started out as hunters and gatherers but as time went on they got into trade. Navajo men were usually warriors, leaders and hunters. The women in the Navajo tribe were famers and tended more to the household responsibilities. Many Navajos were heavily into weaving and jewelry making.
Sam wants to save enough money to buy jewelry from a local store to support his tribe. He wants a necklace that cost $4.00, a ring that cost $2.50 and a bracelet that cost $6.00. If Sam already has $3.50 how much more money does Sam need to save to buy everything he wants? Explain the steps you took to solve the problem.

They lived in large tipis about 12 feet high.
