Clothing+EFGH

Practically everyone in a Navajo family helped to prepare clothing.Even children helped their parents.Men were in charge of hunting animal skins and gathering material to make jewelry.Women were in charge of weaving and sewing the clothing.They decorated their special clothing.To make it special they sewed on silver button and shell beads.Making clothes was hard work!

Navajos wore their hair in a variety of ways.One type of hair-do men and women used was in a figure of an 8.It was tied with yarn and called "tsyeel".Men wore cloth headbands around their foreheads for the ceremonies.Women sometimes wore hats of bright feathers and men wore the same but with dull colored feathers.Unmarried women wore their hair in two buns,in a butterfly style.Navajo hair styles were certainly interesting.
