Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site Book Kids This prairie dog plush toyFrom the 1880s to the 1940s, some non Navajo individuals entered a world seldom seen by outsiders and became esteemed residents on the Navajo reservation. These were the Navajo traders, and they played a significant role in Navajo life during this time period. They ran the general store and pawnshop.
