The archaeological record and Navajo traditional belief in the Dine' Bahane' are approximately the same. The Navajo say they emerged from the world below in the Dine'tah area which is in the upper San Juan river basin in north western New Mexico State about 1100 years ago. The actual emergence place is said to be a lake in the San Juan mountains or at the confluence of the San Juan and Animas rivers. The four sacred mountains mark the boundaries of the traditional lands.
Archaeologists find the earliest evidence of a people who are different from other Apachean groups, live in hogans and grow corn in the same area in the San Juan basin starting between 1100 and 900 years ago. In essence their ethno-genisis was a blending of Apachean culture with some aspects of Pueblo people in this area.
Today the Navajo Nation is 300,000 enrolled members on 27,000 sq miles between the same four sacred mountains including some of the San Juan basin.
