Detailed explanation-1: -Almost all of the Southwestern tribes, which later spread out into present-day Arizona, Texas, and northern Mexico, can trace their ancestry back to these civilizations. Two powerful Southwest tribes were the exception: the Navajo (NA-vuh-hoh) and the Apache (uh-PA-chee).
Detailed explanation-2: -The western Pueblo tribes included the Hopi (Uto-Aztecan; see also Hopi language), Hano (Tanoan), Zuni (Penutian), and Acoma and Laguna (Keresan). The Navajo and the closely related Apache spoke Athabaskan languages. The Navajo lived on the Colorado Plateau near the Hopi villages.
Detailed explanation-3: -The American Indians of the Southwest culture area traditionally lived in what are now the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Today more than one fifth of Native Americans in the United States continue to live in this region, mostly in the states of Arizona and New Mexico.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Navajo occupied a portion of the Colorado Plateau adjacent to Hopi lands. The Apache claimed the basin and range country east and south of the Plateau and surrounding the Rio Grande pueblos. Together, the Navajo and Apache are referred to as Apacheans.
Detailed explanation-5: -There were three distinct Southwest Native American tribes that emerged.
