The Pueblo Revolt of 1680 and it's aftermath of the Reconquest in 1692. Then the destruction and killings of the Hopi converts and missionaries in 1700 at Awatovi. In this time period, some Hopi joined the Navajo with living to the east of them in the Beautiful Valley and Chinle area. It is thought that the Táchii'nii clan has it's roots in this time. Tobacco, Tansy, Masked dancer, Rabbit, Bluebird, Deer divisions of Táchii'nii have exact correspondence with Hopi clans. Also Clans with livestock derived names - like Tł'ízí Łání (Many Goats) , Tł'ízí łichi'í (Red Goats) , and Dibé Łizhiní (Black Sheep) are thought to have Pueblo roots. Further, there are Hopi clans for bear, corn reed, squash, sun and turkey that share names with Navajo Clans. Because it is forbidden to marry into any of ones related clans many clan origins come from non Navajo roots. The Navajo although they have remained Athabaskan at base are thought to have mulitethnic roots.
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
Most were Navajo and Hopi, but some were of other Native American tribes. Many came from the reservations in Arizona and New Mexico.
