There are over 300,000 members in 2014. That is more at one time than at any time in the past. They are the US largest tribe. To be a member you must have at least one Navajo grand parent. Most live on or near the Navajo Nation but there are Navajo in every state except 3.

That does not count people who have more distant Navajo ancestry. For example many people went to boarding school an the past and met and married into another tribe. Also, in the 17th and 19th century there was a large trade in Navajo slaves to New Mexico Spanish towns and to Northern Mexico. In the 1840s there were counted to be at least 4000. Those people married into the communities they were taken to as the sort of slavery that the Spanish had did not usually go on the the children.

The Navajos as a tribe do not and did not live in Pennsylvania. However, Navajos are the country's biggest tribe and there are Navajos living in most states.
