The Apache are a group of related people but the live in different places, climates, ways and their languages are different. The Navajo are related to them.
Some Apache did make hogans. They also made kowa and wikiups and the Plains and Lipan Apache used tipis.
In general, a hogan is a much more permanent home and takes a lot of time a materials to build. The thick walls are good for keeping warm in the high altitude winter and keeping cool in the summer. The Navajo are people who keep sheep and goats and raise corn, squash and beans. They mostly live at between 5000 and 8000 feet in elevation. Hogans are useful in this climate and because they stayed near their fiends except when moving herds to higher pasture. Also hogans have important religious significance. Many Apache bands lived a more mobile lifestyle so other types of houses were more useful.

What does the Spanish word Navajo mean?
The word Navajo does not come from Spanish. The Spanish learned it in the middle 1500s when they were asking Pueblo Tewa speakers names of the the different Apache related groups. They were told the Dine' were the "Apache of the wide or river bottom fields". "Navahu'u" is Tewa for "farm fields in a valley". Navajo is how the Spanish then spelled it. The Navajo language is related to other Apache languages about the same as Italian is to Spanish or Portuguese. The word Apache is thought to come from the Zuni language word for "enemy" or "stranger" Some other Apache groups were the Jicarilla ("little basket") and Mescalero ( mescal was a food staple) Apache.
What do Navajo live in in the winter?
Hogans are what traditional Navajo homes are called. In Navajo they are spelled hooghan. They all face east, most are six or eight-sided or round. These kind are called "female" hogan. They were usually made with logs and the roof of logs or the whole building was covered with earth for insulation. The "male" ones are very rare today and have a pointed top more like a small tepee of logs covered with dirt. Today, some Navajo still have hogans, mostly for ceremonies but some are still lived in. Most people lived in regular US style homes or in mobile homes. There are 300,000 Navajo and they are very individualistic so there is a lot of variation.
What does the word Navajo mean?
'enemies with the cultivated lands in arroyos'The word Navajo is derived from Spanish hearing of a Tewa Indian word "navahu'u" or "na-ba-hu-u " meaning wide or river bottom fields. The Spanish were trying to tell apart the different Apache related groups."Apache " is thought to come from Zuni for "enemy". The Tewa were saying that the people over towards where Farmington NM is now were the Apache group who grew corn in river bottom land. The others ate Mescal- Mescalero Apache, or made little baskets- Jicarilla Apache. They were "Navajo de Apache".The idea that it means knife or thief has been thoroughly debunked.
Where did the Apache Indians live?
The apache lived mainly around the same place the Navajo did, in New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Arizona
