History
The Navaja tribe is a tribe focused on hunting and trapping. They populate the river-dense lands to the North of Sequoyah. They split from the native Sequoyans nearly 10,000 years ago, and follows the rivers to Sequoyah before settling there to take advantage of its rich furs. They hunt beavers, moose, elk, and deer.
Military
The Navaja are known for their skilled melee fighters, who are proficient in the use of tomohawks and spears.
Politics
The tribe is completely dominated by the Chief. The role of chief is passed down through the paternal line.
Economy
The tribe largely trades with the Cheyall and Itse Amequohi.
Geography
The Navaja territories are largely filled by rivers and forests. The Ayudaluyi River is held sacred by the Navaja, who have established several trading posts alongside it.
