Navajo ETHNONYMS Apaches de Nabaju Dine Dineh Dinneh Navaho Nabajo Nabaju Orientation Identification. The Navajo are a large American Indian group currently located in Arizona and New Mexico. In sixteenth-century Spanish documents the Navajo are referred to simply as Apaches along with all the other Athapaskan-speaking peoples of the New Mexico province. The more specific designation Apaches de Nabaju appears for the first time in 1626 and sporadically thereafter until the end of the seventeenth century. From about 1700 on the people are always called Navajo or Nabajo in Spanish documents and the name has been retained throughout the Anglo-American period. The source of the name is uncertain but is believed to derive from a Tewa Pueblo Indian word for cultivated fields in recognition of the fact that the Navajo were more dependent on agriculture than were other Athapaskan peoples. The spelling Navaho is common in English-language .
