They live in the American Southwest. The Pueblo people and their ancestors have lived in this area for 2000 years or more. There are many ideas where they came from before that.
It is not certain when the ancestors of the Navajo first arrived in this area and from where, but they became recognizably Navajo about 900- 1100 AD. This was in the Upper San Juan River basin area of the southwest. They have been spreading ever since.

Who were the apache Indians enemies?
We don't know who their enemies were before the Spanish arrived in about 1540. The word in Navajo for corn means enemies food or strangers food. The word for non Navajos is the same so we don't know if the ancestral Pueblo people were enemies or not. The word Anasazi can mean enemy ancestors or strangers ancestors as well. We do know they gained many skills and cultural ideas from the Pueblo so not all could have been fighting. By the 1600s the Spanish were the largest enemy. They created a market for slaves and tried to control Navajo land. Because they wanted slaves and would pay well for them other tribes raided the Navajo for slaves. The Navajo also raided the Pueblo and Spanish colonies. But they also traded with and inter married with the Pueblo people and some Spanish. By the late 1700s there was constant raiding and slaving attacks. The Ute and Comanche allied with the Spanish. It is estimated that during the early 1800s more than 66 percent of all Navajo families had experienced the loss of members to slavery. When the area became part of Mexico they became an enemy as well. Lastly, the area came under US control and the US army was their enemy
What event caused some hopi people live with the Navajo?
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.
What part of the country do the Navajo Indians live in?
The Navajo people lived in the southwestern US. They still live in their traditional territory, in the four corners area of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. The Navajo tribe is the largest federally recognized tribe in the United States.
The navajo are descendants of the native anasazi people?
For the most part, no. The Pueblo people are the cultural and direct genetic descendants of the Anasazi. When the Athabascan ancestors of the Navajo entered the area about 1100- 900 years ago they intermarried with a few of the ancestral Pueblo people Anasazi and learned and borrowed cultural practices. Some Navajo clans have origin stories of having one ancestor as being from the Anasazi or from other Pueblo people. However, it is thought for the most part, the Navajo are most closely related to the other Athabascan people like the Apache.
Why ancient cliff dwellers called Anasazi?
Anasazi is from a Navajo word: ánaasází. It means ancestors of our enemies or of the strangers (not Navajo people). It is sometimes translated now as ancient ones. When white Americans first started exploring the ruins in the 1880s they had Navajo guides and workmen. These men gave them this name. The Navajo are thought to have entered the area around 1100 to 900 years ago and would have encountered these people. When the clans moved out to the locations where Pueblo people are today, the Navajo did not occupy these sites because of cultural taboos about pollution and sickness from possible contact with the dead. But they knew and the Pueblo people knew who had lived there before and thus their name for them.
What customs did the Navajo learn from the Hopi?
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..

How large was the Navajo tribe in the 17th century?
Nobody really knows. The Navajo first had contact with the Spanish in 1540 but the Spanish never colonized the area that they live in. So unlike the nearby Pueblo people who were counted by the Spanish and lived in villages so they were easy to count, the Navajo lived in related family groups widely spread across a large area and were never counted. The answer is the same for the 16th and 18th century. We are pretty sure that after the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 different Pueblo groups joined the Navajo and formed new clans. At that time the population increased. 36 out of 72 Navajo clans have stories or names that indicate that at least some of the original members were from other tribes who probably married into the tribe. The only certain number we have is when Kit Carson starved them into surrender in 1863-4. 8500 were taken to Bosque Redondo for four years. Several thousand hid out in that period. About 400 died on the way. About 2500 or more died in the camps. An unknown number died fighting Kit Carson.
