The Dine' (navajo) did and do live in parts of south east Utah, probably from the 1700's onwards. In the area north of the San Juan river up towards the Bears Ears, The Blue mountains, Blanding, and Monticello. They also live in north western AZ, north eastern NM. They are one of the small number of tribes that still live in much of their traditional lands.

The Traditional sacred mountains make the traditional self perceived boundaries of their territory, although there was overlap with other tribes and it shifted at times. Those mountains are in English: Mount Blanca Co (eastern mt), Mt Taylor NM ( south), San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff ( west) and Mt Hesperus CO (north) .

The traditional emergence place into this world in Dine' stories is a small lake in southern CO. and the traditional core of the first homeland is Dinetah in thhe Upper San Juan river valley basin area in North western NM and southern Co.

Jemez Pueblo oral tradition puts the Navajo in the area around 950 AD which is not far from Navajo oral history. Navajo oral history mentions the arrival of the Ute people into southern utah and CO and is probably pretty accurate.

Not coincidentally, This is the general area that archeologists find evedence of the earliest distinctly Dine' people, southern Athabascans with corn growing as an important part of the culture and living in hogans. These sites date from the 1500's.
