They have been recognized and then de-recognized several times; the first recognition of the Navajo as a nation came in 1846, then denied in 1849, then recognized in 1868, denied again in 1885, recognized as a political subdivision (state) of the United States again in 1923 (Dawes Act of 1887, updated in 1934) - despite the Navajo's thoughts that they are an independent nation; the United States clearly defines them are Political subdivisions (domestically dependent nations, see link).
