Navajo...
"The Navajo (Navaho) Indians are
thought, because of their
Athabascan tongue, to have migrated at an early date from the
northwestern section of the continent into what is now the
American Southwest. In that area they encountered other
Indian peoples, some of whom they absorbed, creating a mixed
racial stock, yet preserving their language. A restless people,
the Navajos throughout their history in the southwest fought the
neighbouring tribes, the Spanish, the
Mexicans, and later the
Americans. They were not subdued until the 1860’s, when they
were finally forced on to a reservation. More than 100,000
strong, they live on several large reservations in southern Utah
and adjacent areas of New Mexico and Arizona.
Navajo, an Athabascan tongue, is related to the Apache
languages and, more distantly, to other languages spoken by
Indians of western North America, e.g., Slave, Chipewyan,
and Dog Rib." --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
