The Pueblo people didn't really protect the Navajo. Sometimes the Navajo and Pueblos traded, other times the Navajo raided the Pueblos. The Navajo probably got some things like weaving and corn from the Pueblo people. The successful Pueblo Revolt of 1680 meant that when the Spanish returned in 1692 they were much more careful and didn't really colonize the western Pueblos again which indirectly probably helped the Navajo. On the other hand, the Rio Grande Pueblos later sided with the Spanish against the Navajo and later encouraged the Americans to lead military expeditions against them. One of the caused of the Oraibi split at Hopi had to do with an argument as to whether the Americans or the Navajo were more of a threat and therefore which side they should join with to fight the other.
no they lived in hogans
No, their language and culture and lifestyles were quite different.
In my opinion, I think that the Navajo Tribe was the closet because they spent some time with the Pueblos and learned many things from them
they lived in pueblos/adobes, grass and long houses, Navajo hogans.
Traditionally, Pueblos, Utes, some Apaches. Then Spanish, Mexicans, Mormons, US Government. Today, no one.
Hopis lived in Puebloes, Navajos Lived in small groups that moved with the seasons. Pueblos mastered basket weaving and pottery, Navajo mastered Rug Weaving and Silversmithing.
Anasazi is a Navajo name for the ancient Pueblo peoples. The Navajo lived, and sometimes still live, in hogans in scattered family groupings not in pueblos which are small villages or towns. The Pueblo people are the direct descendants of the Anasazi.

The Pueblos were actually built by a division of people known historically as "The Pueblo People." When their culture fell into disuse they were considered extinct historically. Their decedents were the Anasazi, Hopi, Navajo and some of the original culture is still practiced in those tribes.
They traded and with them and the raided them so far that is all I know.
The Navajo would sleep on beds that they made. Their beds were made out of buffalo hide. This hide was more comfortable than sleeping on the ground inside their Hogans.
They would use the clay and sand in the desert to build pueblos. Joy I.
