The door of the hogan faces the east to welcome the morning sun and to receive good blessings. When the Navajo settled near the Pueblo tribe, the Pueblo taught many things to the Navajo, such as how to plant corn, squash, beans, and melon. Soon Navajo clothing, weaving, and pottery were similar to Pueblo styles. Navajo depended on thier sheep and horses. They depend on thier sheep because Navajo need sheep's wool for weaving clothing, blankets, and rugs.
Sheep also provide meat.
Navajo need horses to herd the sheep, carry heavy loads, and to trade.
