The Navajo people live in a very large area covering parts of three States (northeastern Arizona, Northwestern New Mexico and Southern Utah), much of it is the high desert of the Colorado Plateau. It covers 27,000 square miles, most of it is between 4500 and 8000 feet in elevation. Many, but not all, of the rocks in this area are reddish. You may be thinking of the so called "painted desert" area which is siltstone, mudstone, and shale of the Triassic Chinle Formation. Or maybe the Lower Jurassic Navajo Sandstone which is reddish. Or the red sandstone Moenkopi formation that was laid down in the Lower Triassic. If you are thinking of clay deposits my best guess would be the Chinle formation which has more siltstone that erodes into clay. But clay can be found all over the Navajo Nation. Also, for a piece of pottery to end up after firing a red color it does not have to start with red clay. Any clay with a high iron content if fired in a oxygen rich environment will turn red.
