Yes. As far as any historical, archaeological and Navajo tribal oral history can tell the Navajo became a distinct people or according to traditional belief emerged from the previous world in the area of the La Plata mountains in today's Southern Colorado and the upper San Juan river basin in New Mexico about 1100 -1200 years ago. At that time they had absorbed cultural traits such as growing corn from the Anasazi/Ancestral Pueblo peoples so they must have been there for a while before that.
Before that it is unknown where and when exactly they came from. It is thought that perhaps they separated from other speakers of Athabaskan language families who are in northern Canada and Alaska about 1500 years before that. However there are also Athabaskan speakers in Northern California, Oregon and Washington. It is unclear what route they traveled to get to the southwest.
The Navajo creation stories, beside providing spiritual, philosophical, and symbolic meaning and providing an account of ever greater complexity and harmony punctuated by social conflict, also seems to give an account of traveling from one place to the next staying for a while and then moving on. Perhaps this is a story of their travels form the north.
