    General racism, environmental devastation, and poverty on Indian reservations makes it burdensome for many Native people to live according to their traditions. As many are simply trying to survive daily life, they do not have the energy, money, or time to be taught and teach their indigenous languages and cultures.

While it does seem that some languages and cultures are in danger of being exclusive to history, it is a surprising fact to many that many Native groups have a very diverse original language and many cultural customs. With the supremacy of European-American cultural and economic identities, it is astounding to see the perseverance of these sustained livelihoods adapt and remain feasible in the middle of constantly-changing social change.…

    The Navajo lived in the dry, northern regions of Arizona and New Mexico, and were also farmers and hunters. Like the Cherokee the Navajo did not live in teepees, but lived in dwellings called hogans. A major difference between the Cherokee and most of the other tribes is the fact they viewed men and women as equal and when married the man moves in with his wife and the lineage follows the maternal side.
