Yes different tribes
The Navajo and Hopi are modern people who both live in the American Southwest but are very different in many ways. They speak completely unrelated languages for example. We don't know what the Anasazi spoke. Probably several languages in different families. The Navajo have borrowed some ideas from the Hopi. The ancient Hopi lived at the same time as the now gone Anasazi, shared many cultural traits and probably some of the Hopi clans are descended from Anasazi groups. Some Navajo clans are probably from Anasazi groups too. As a whole it is very hard to say what they did and do that is "unusual". That depends on what you think is usual.
The Nez Perce lived no where near the Navajo. The Hopi people and the Navajo people live right next to each other.

Arizona
It is thought that the Navajo learned to grow corn beans and squash from the Hopi and other Pueblo people and from their ancestors, the Anasazi. Corn has been central to Navajo life for as long as they have been Navajo and not like other southern Athabascan peoples. It is also thought that Navajo learned to weave cotton from the Hopi and the same other groups. Among the Hopi men are weavers and among the Navajo mostly women weave. The Navajo then adapted this to weaving wool after the late 1500s and elaborated the designs to reflect Navajo philosophy. By the 1700s their weaving was famous and valued with tribes far away in the northern Great Plains
The Apache, the Navajo, and the Hopi.
The Navajo were their allies yet they were enemies too
They traded with the hopi people
The Hopi people were generally peaceful people but they were often raided by the larger neighboring tribe, the Navajo.
While they may reside wherever they so desire, the Hopi Reservation is in fact in northeastern Arizona. Their reservation is completely surrounded by the Navajo Nation, in the Navajo and Coconino counties.
The event that caused some Hopi to come live with the Navajo was the U.S. government's forced relocation policies and the resulting impacts of the Long Walk of the Navajo in the 1860s. As the Navajo were displaced from their ancestral lands, some Hopi, seeking safety and community amidst the turmoil, migrated to join the Navajo. This movement was influenced by the shared challenges they faced under federal policies and the desire to maintain cultural ties in a precarious environment.
