The Nez Perce lived no where near the Navajo. The Hopi people and the Navajo people live right next to each other.

The Navajo lived near the Hopi on the high Colorado Plateau and still do. The ancestors of today's Navajo arrived in the high desert area when the Hopi and Anasazi were farming there. They learned dry-land corn, beans and squash agriculture and weaving from the Hopi and other Pueblo groups. One could say that this is when the Navajo became Navajo and different from other Athabaskan people. This happened around 900 to 110 years ago according to Navajo traditional stories and modern archeology. Also, many of the Navajo clans have roots in Hopi and other Pueblo people. From the Navajo clan stories and names it seems that about 36 out of 72 clans have origins in one woman or man from an other tribal group who married in to the Navajo. This is in part because for the Navajo to marry into any of the four clans of one's grandparents (or related clans) is considered incest. Therefore there is pressure to out marry. A further reason is that after the Pueblo revolt of 1680 some people fled to and joined the Navajo, some permanently some for a while. Also, After the Hopi destroyed the Hopi village of Awatovi in 1700 some of the survivors fled and joined the Navajo in the Chinle valley area as well. The Pima (Akimel O'odham is their own name), live far to the south in low land deserts. The Akimel O'odham are thought to be descended from the Hohokam (which means "The Ancestors"). They were a sophisticated people who practiced irrigated agriculture for hundreds of years in what is now the greater Phoenix area centered on the Gila and Salt river basins. They traded with the Hopi, Anasazi, Mogollon and later the Navajo peoples but were pretty far away both in distance, culture and environment..
The Navajo word for Satan is "T’ááłá’íí," which translates to "the one who is evil" or "the evil one." In Navajo culture, this concept is often associated with malevolent spirits or forces rather than a singular figure like in some other religious traditions. The Navajo worldview encompasses a broader understanding of good and evil, focusing on harmony and balance in life.
Traditionally, the Navajo people do not use headstones for graves. Instead, they often mark graves with natural objects or create simple earthen mounds. The emphasis is more on the spiritual aspects of the burial rather than physical markers. However, in modern times, some Navajo may adopt headstones or other markers influenced by non-Navajo practices.
Very effective, Navajo Indians were used to rely information over the air. They did not use a code but rather their native language.
The Navajo Nation has experienced varying degrees of wealth, influenced by factors such as resource management, tourism, and economic development initiatives rather than solely by acculturation. While some aspects of acculturation, such as adopting certain modern business practices, have contributed to economic growth, the tribe's wealth is also tied to its rich cultural heritage and natural resources, including mineral rights. Additionally, the Navajo Nation has faced significant challenges, including historical marginalization and poverty, which complicate the narrative of wealth. Overall, the relationship between acculturation and wealth is complex and multifaceted.
Poland did not directly borrow customs from the Etruscans, as the two cultures were separated by significant geographical and temporal distances. Etruscan civilization thrived in Italy from the 8th to 3rd centuries BCE, while Poland's early historical development occurred much later in Central Europe. However, both cultures may have shared certain Indo-European traditions, such as burial practices and agricultural rituals, which were common among ancient societies. Any similarities would likely stem from broader cultural exchanges rather than direct borrowing.

The word "likely" is an adverb rather than a verb and so doesn't have a tense.
Stonehenge itself did not have laws in the modern legal sense, as it predates written history and was likely used for ceremonial and astronomical purposes rather than governance. The society that built Stonehenge, likely the Neolithic people of Britain, would have followed social norms and customs rather than formal laws. These norms would have governed aspects of daily life, including rituals, resource management, and communal activities. Overall, any "laws" would have been informal and based on tradition and consensus rather than codified legal systems.
Acculturation involves adapting to a new culture while potentially retaining aspects of one's original culture. Individuals may modify or shed certain customs to fit into the new cultural context, but it is common for them to maintain some traditions and values from their past. The process is often complex and varies greatly among individuals, influenced by factors such as personal choice, community support, and the degree of cultural integration. Ultimately, acculturation can lead to a blending of cultures rather than a complete abandonment of one's heritage.
Common law is a type of law that is based on the current standards or customs of a society. It is developed through judicial decisions and precedent rather than through legislation.
