Sheep problem during the Great Depression (jan 1, 1930 – dec 1, 1939)
Description:
During the Great Depression, the US government asked the Navajo people to cut down their sheep population. Sheep were important to the Navajos, because sheep were a big food income for the Navajos, and they made clothes for themselves out of sheep wool. The Navajos were very angry, and upset.https://ilovehistory.utah.gov/people/first_peoples/tribes/navajo.html
