Where Navajo and Apache, once part of the same tribe?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

"There is some evidence that the Navajo may be related to the Khanty (pronounced "han-tee") of Siberia1", and they arrived in North America by boat, making their way south to where they are today.

How similar are the Navajo and Siberian languages and cultures? Can you provide examples?

" For example, no Apache or Navajo had seen a boat for many generations but the word used to describe the gliding flight of an owl was the same word used by the Athabascans to describe the movement of a canoe over water. Words used by Athabascans for utensils made from horn were used by the Apache-Navajos for utensils made from gourds. When linguistics queried Apache-Navajos about whether they recognized words from Athabascan languages the Apache-Navajo speakers recognized them as archaic words, words that had been replaced by other words in their language. "
These links should help you out. I remember reading something about the word "boat" being very significant. I will try to find that for you.
