Describe how the ancestors of the Navajo and Apache peoples arrive to the Southwest United States. How was the Navajo culture influenced by other peoples of the region?

The ancestors of the Navajo and Apache people are generally considered to be the Ancestral Pueblos, which includes the Anasazis, the Mogollon and the Hohokam people. These groups arrived in the area from the North, and became the first farmers in the Four Corners region  (where the states of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona meet today). There is evidence of farming in this region as early as 2000 BCE.

The Navajo culture was influenced by other peoples of the region in several ways. Some of the traditions that the Navajo had were impacted by the contact with the Pueblos, including basket-making, weaving, ceramics and social organization. However, some traditions remained unchanged. For example, while the Ancestral Pueblos were agricultural communities, the Navajo and Apache remained hunter-gatherers.
