The cultivation of maize was a basic and an essential crop in their economy. In the 1980’s, wage work contributed to 75% of all Navajo income.

Geography Located west of Albuquerque and north of IH40 and their total land is only .5% of the total Navajo Nation land. To’hajiilee means “where people draw up water by means of a cord or rope one quantity after another” which is how they get their water. The geography is made up of large deserts and rock formations such as plateaus which surrounds the To’hajiilee village on all sides. The location of the To’hajiilee tribe is historically very hot during the summers rising to temperatures of around degrees.
