Navajo Livestock Wealth and the Effects of the Stock Reduction Program of the 1930s

This paper explores the relationships between economic inequality, regional variation, and socioeconomic change among the Navajo during the period of the livestock reductions of the 1930s. Social and economic stratification, based on livestock holdings, and regional differences in those holdings are reported. The differential distribution of livestock among owners is viewed within the context of the Navajo livestock economy at the time of livestock reduction. The responses of wealthy and other Navajos to the reduction program and the effects of livestock reduction on Navajo stratification are discussed
