Navajo and Their Neighbors

For this particular culture it's a little different on how they fit in opposed to a culture in other countries. The Navajo live in their own reservation located in the United States. Being that their people and culture has stayed intact for thousands of years, and still continues to thrive, it shows the longevity of the culture. Many Navajo people stick to their roots and live a more traditional Navajo lifestyle (sheepherding, hunting, living in hogans, etc.), while some born in the latest generations become more Americanized, in the sense they go into a lucrative career, or move out of the reservation. This culture has been around for so long they are typically respected by surrounding groups or cultures. The Navajo Reservation is protected by the Navajo Environmental Protection Agency. This agency makes it a priority to preserve the reservation and allow the Navajo people to continue to live their traditional lifestyle the culture chooses to live.
As far as groups that are closely related to the Navajo, we can talk about the Apache. Their language comes from the same language family called Athabaskan. Both cultures migrated south and brought their language, as well as their nomadic lifestyle with them.
