The Navajo’s and the Blackfoot’s diet is very similar. Both tribes ate corn, beans, squash, melons and pumpkins. Both tribes most important plant was, my favorite, corn/maize. Yummm. Navajo also grew fruit and ate sheep. The Blackfoot grew tobacco too. Also, they both were farmers, hunters, and gatherers. The Navajo hunted on horseback. The Blackfoot were so grateful for their food that they had two ceremonies every year.
